Dr Temperance Brennan spends her life working amongst the decomposed and the skeletal. So the newly-dead body she is called to examine holds little to surprise her. Until she discovers it is the body of an ex-soldier apparently killed in Vietnam in 1968. So who is buried in his grave The case takes Tempe to the heart of the American military, where she must examine the remains of anyone with a possible connection to the drowned man. As Tempe untangles the web of the soldiers' lives and deaths, she realises there are some who would rather the past stayed buried. ___________________________________ Many of the world's greatest thriller writers are huge fans of her work- 'Kathy Reichs writes smart - no, make that brilliant - mysteries that are as realistic as nonfiction and as fast-paced as the best thrillers about Jack Reacher, or Alex Cross.'

LEE CHILD 'Nobody does forensics thrillers like Kathy Reichs. She's the real deal.' DAVID BALDACCI 'Each book in Kathy Reichs's fantastic Temperance Brennan series is better than the last.
