Bones Never Lie

When forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan is unexpectedly called in to the Charlotte Police Department’s Cold Case Unit, she wonders why she’s been asked to meet with a homicide cop — especially one who’s a long way from his own jurisdiction. The shocking answer: Two child murders, separated by thousands of miles, have one thing in common — the killer. Years ago, Anique Pomerleau kidnapped and murdered a string of girls in Canada, then narrowly eluded capture. It was a devastating defeat for her pursuers, Tempe and police detective Andrew Ryan. Now, as if summoned from their nightmares, Pomerleau has resurfaced in the United States, linked to victims in Vermont and North Carolina. When another child is snatched, the reign of terror promises to continue — unless Tempe can rise to the challenge and make good on her second chance to stop a psychopath.
