Description
#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs takes forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan behind the scenes of a major commercial airliner crash in this pulse-pounding thriller.
“Buckle up and take this voyage,” says People. The journey begins with Temperance Brennan hearing shocking news on her car radio. An Air TransSouth flight has gone down in the mountains of western North Carolina, taking with it eighty-eight passengers and crew. As a forensic anthropologist and a member of the regional DMORT team, Tempe rushes to the scene to assist in body recovery and identification.
As bomb theories abound, Tempe soon discovers a jarring piece of evidence that raises dangerous questions—and gets her thrown from the DMORT team. Relentless in her pursuit of its significance, Tempe uncovers a shocking, multilayered tale of deceit and depravity as she probes her way into frightening territory—where someone wants her stopped in her tracks.
Reviews
Last Book By Reichs That I'll Read
2By FpianoStarts out reasonably enough. The author's background in forensic anthropology is her strong suit as a writer. I'd read two of her books set in Canada and they were good enough. This is really two stories mashed together. Although I don't live in Bryson City, NC or the Smokey Mountains, I find her depictions of the locals very offensive. She literally compares locals to rednecks out of Deliverance and says they have the IQ's of wooly worms. She may be brilliant in forensic medicine, but her flora and fauna are sometimes off. Proofreaders where are you? Water Moccasin snakes are not found at Chimney Rock or the western mountains of NC and some greenery mentioned is not likely to be found in the Smokey Mountains. It's her depictions of locals that is really off though.Great!
