Summary
 'I await the next Kathy Reichs’ thriller with the same anticipation I have for the new Lee Child or Patricia Cornwell' JAMES PATTERSON

NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author KATHY REICHS returns with her next edge-of-your seat thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan.

A storm has hit South Carolina, dredging up crimes of the past.

On the way to Isle of Palms, a barrier island off the South Carolina coast, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan receives a call from the Charleston coroner. During the storm, a medical waste container has washed up on the beach. Inside are two decomposed bodies wrapped in plastic sheeting and bound with electrical wire. Chillingly, Tempe recognizes many details as identical to those of an unsolved case she handled in Quebec fifteen years earlier. With a growing sense of foreboding, she flies to Montreal to gather evidence and convince her boss Pierre LaManch to reopen the cold case. She also seeks the advice—and comfort—of her longtime beau Andrew Ryan.

Meanwhile, a storm of a different type gathers force in South Carolina. The citizens of Charleston are struck by a bacterium that, at its worst, can eat human flesh. Thousands panic and test themselves for a rare genetic mutation that may have rendered them vulnerable.

Shockingly, Tempe eventually discovers that not only are the victims in both grisly murder cases related, but that the murders and the disease outbreak also have a common cause…​​ Crime Detective Fiction Genre Fiction Medical Mystery Suspense Thriller & Suspense Women Sleuths Women's Fiction Cold Case Murder

Loved it... I have always had a thing about crime stories that are found to be related to a crime from years, decades, before... finally getting the one that got away.

Fantastic as always

Kathy Reichs characters and the narration provide a rolling story that gathers in intensity and meaning, with scientific insight throw in. Years ago, I had read this book old-style, and glad I gave it a go on audio. Watch for specials on Audible for your favourite paper books to come back around. I add to wishlist, and then check for red discounts. Excellent story and enactment. I need a pleasant voice to enjoy, and this is it.
