Deja
Dead - Kathy Reichs
Kathy Reichs blasts into Patricia Cornwell
territory -- and onto the New York Times bestseller list -- with this
critically acclaimed debut novel inspired by Reichs' own career. Dr. Temperance
Brennan, the wry, impassioned director of forensic anthropology for the
province of Quebec, is driven to unravel shocking acts of violence by reading
the bones of the dead.
In the year since Tempe left behind a shaky
marriage in North Carolina, work has often preempted her weekend plans to
explore Quebec. But when an unidentified female corpse is discovered
meticulously dismembered and stashed in garbage bags, Tempe detects an alarming
pattern within the grisly handiwork -- and her professional detachment gives
way to a harrowing search for a killer in the city's winding streets. With
little help from the police, Tempe calls on her expertise, honed in the
isolated intensity of the autopsy suite, to investigate on her own. But her
determined chase is about to place those closest to her -- her best friend and
her daughter -- in mortal danger....
Death
Du Jour - Kathy Reichs
Forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs exploded
onto bestseller lists worldwide with her phenomenal debut novel Déjà Dead --
and introduced "[a] brilliant heroine" (Glamour) in league with
Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta. Dr. Temperance Brennan, Quebec's director of
forensic anthropology, now returns in a thrilling new investigation into the
secrets of the dead.
In the bitter cold of a Montreal winter,
Tempe Brennan is digging for a corpse buried more than a century ago. Although
Tempe thrives on such enigmas from the past, it's a chain of contemporary
deaths and disappearances that has seized her attention -- and she alone is
ideally placed to make a chilling connection among the seemingly unrelated
events. At the crime scene, at the morgue, and in the lab, Tempe probes a
mystery that sweeps from a deadly Quebec fire to startling discoveries in the
Carolinas, and culminates in Montreal with a terrifying showdown -- a
nerve-shattering test of both her forensic expertise and her skills for
survival.
Deadly
Decisions - Kathy Reichs
Nine-year-old Emily Anne Toussaint is fatally
shot on a Montreal street. A North Carolina teenager disappears from her home,
and parts of her skeleton are found hundreds of miles away. The shocking deaths
propel forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan from north to south, and deep into
a shattering investigation inside the bizarre culture of outlaw motorcycle
gangs -- where one misstep could bring disaster for herself or someone she
loves. Kathy Reichs astonishing bestseller pulses with cutting-edge scientific
know-how -- and the narrative power of an award-winning crime fiction star.
