New York: Scribner's, (2004.) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - The seventh novel to feature forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan. While in wintry Montreal to testify at a murder trial, she finds herself involved with a case of three skeletons in the basement of a pizza parlor - recent skeletons, of young women. The author is herself a forensic anthropologist for both the state of North Carolina and the province of Quebec . Recommended - an excellent series, better in my opinion, than the Patricia Cornwell books. SIGNED on the title page. The popular television series "Bones" is nominally based on these books. 303 pp. ISBN: 0-743233476.
