New York: Scribner, (2006) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - Ninth mystery featuring featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, set in South Carolina where a fresh skeleton is found among the ancient bones of a Native American burying ground. The author is herself a forensic anthropologist for both the state of North Carolina and the province of Quebec - SIGNED on the title page, Recommended - an excellent series, better in my opinion, than the Patricia Cornwell books, and also better than the television series "Bones" which is very loosely based on this series. Author's note - 337 pp. ISBN: 0-7432-33492.
