It’s never easy working fire scenes.
Called to Washington, DC to analyse the victims of a mysterious arson
attack, Tempe quickly finds her misgivings justified. The fire site is
in Foggy Bottom, a neighbourhood with a colourful history, and as the
pieces start falling into place, the property’s ownership becomes more
and more suspicious.
Sensing a good story, Tempe teams up with a new ally, telejournalist
Ivy Doyle. Delving into the past, the duo learns that back in the
Thirties and Forties the home was the hangout of a group of bootleggers
and racketeers known as the Foggy Bottom Gang. Though interesting, this
fact seems irrelevant – until the son of one of the gang members is
shot dead at his farm in Virginia.
When another Foggy Bottom Gang-linked property burns to the ground,
claiming one more victim, what might have been coincidence starts to
look more like targeted attacks. As she and Ivy dig deeper, Tempe’s
instincts point towards the obvious: somehow, her every move since
coming to Washington has been anticipated in advance. And every path
forward brings with it a lethal threat.

From Number One Bestselling author Kathy Reichs comes the new high-stakes thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.
Even on an island paradise, danger still lurks.
Called in to examine what is left of a body struck by lightning, Tempe traces an unusual tattoo to its source and is soon embroiled in a much larger case. Young men – tourists – have been disappearing on the islands of Turks and Caicos for years. Seven years ago, the first victim was found with both hands cut off; the other visitors vanished without a trace. But recently, tantalizing leads have emerged and only Tempe can unravel them.
Maddeningly, the victims seem to have nothing in common – other than the unusual locations where their bodies are eventually found, and the fact that the young men all seem to be the least likely to be involved in foul play. Do these attacks have something to do with the islands’ seething culture of gang violence? Tempe isn’t so sure. And then she turns up disturbing clues that what’s at stake may actually have global significance.
It isn’t long before the sound of a ticking clock grows menacingly loud, and then Tempe herself becomes a target . . .
