Helping Tempe search for answers is detective Erskine “Skinny” Slidell, retired but still volunteering with the CMPD cold case unit-and still displaying his gallows humor. There seems to be no pattern to the subsequent killings uncovered, except that each mimics in some way a homicide that a younger Tempe had been called in to analyze. Soon after, Tempe examines a mummified corpse in a state park, and her anxiety deepens. GPS coordinates etched into the eyeball lead to a Benedictine monastery where an equally macabre discovery awaits. But when mother and daughter meet at Tempe’s place one night, they find a box on the back porch. Freed from a heavy work schedule, Tempe Brennan is content to dote on her daughter Katy, finally returned to civilian life from the army. Winter has come to North Carolina and, with it, a drop in crime. #1 New York Times bestselling thriller writer Kathy Reichs’s twenty-first novel of suspense featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan who uncovers a series of gruesome killings eerily reenacting the most shocking of her prior cases. “The crowning achievement of a master storyteller” -Nelson DeMille “This page-turning series never lets the reader down.” -Harlan Coben “Reichs has written her masterpiece-smart, scary, complicated, and engrossing.” -Michael Connelly
