Author's first and debut novel - 'Deja Dead' is a highly acclaimed bestseller.See my book ID rja1875 'DEATH DU JOUR' for a UK,8vo HB+dw/dj, 1st edn of her 2nd novel featuring Dr Temperance (Tempe) Brennan,Director of Forensic Anthropology for the province of Quebec.
The bones of a woman are discovered in the grounds of an abandoned monastery of Montreal City and the case is given to Dr Temperance Brennan,Director of Forensic Anthropology for the province of Quebec. 'Too decomposed for standard autopsy. Request anthropologic expertise.My case.' Researching recent disappearances in the city convinces Brennan that a serial killer is at work,despite the deep cynicism of Detective Claudel who heads the investigation.Dr Brennan's forensic expertise and contacts at Quantico finally convince him otherwise,but only after the body count has grown. . .
Tempe takes matters into her own hands, building computer databases about the victims, conducting extracurricular searches into the homicide and medicine legale files,re-examining remains from the past,unsolved murders.She is determined to find a connection through meticulous examination of the manner in which these women are butchered; of the strange and consistent patterns left deep in their bones.But even before Tempe makes her crucial breakthrough,the killer is closing in . . .
Rarely have an author and her subject been so well matched.Kathy Reichs,like Temperance Brennan in Deja Dead,spends her days in the autopsy suite,the court room, the crime lab,with cops,and at exhumation sites.Now she takes us behind the scenes in a 'tour de force' that is sure to catapult her into the top ranks of crime fiction writers.
