"Temperance Brennan, like her creator Kathy Reichs, is a brilliant, sexy
forensic anthropologist called on to solve the toughest cases. But for Tempe,
the discovery of a young girl's skeleton in Acadia, Canada, is more than just
another assignment. Évangéline, Tempe's childhood best friend, was also from
Acadia. Named for the character in the Longfellow poem, Évangéline was the most
exotic person in Tempe's eight-year-old world. When Évangéline disappeared,
Tempe was warned not to search for her, that the girl was "dangerous."
Thirty years later, flooded with memories, Tempe cannot help wondering if this
skeleton could be the friend she lost so many years ago. And what is the
meaning of the strange skeletal lesions found on the bones of the young girl?
Meanwhile, Tempe's beau, Ryan, investigates a series of cold cases. Three girls
dead. Four missing. Could the New Brunswick skeleton be part of the pattern? As
Tempe draws on the latest advances in forensic anthropology to penetrate the
past, Ryan hunts down a serial predator."
Kathy Reichs is a forensic anthropologist for the Office of the Chief Medical
Examiner, State of North Carolina, and for the Laboratoire des Sciences
Judiciaires et de Médecine Légale for the province of Quebec. She is one of
only fifty forensic anthropologists certified by the American Board of Forensic
Anthropology and is on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of
Forensic Sciences. A professor of anthropology at The University of North
Carolina at Charlotte, Dr. Reichs is a native of Chicago, where she received
her Ph.D. at Northwestern. She now divides her time between Charlotte and
Montreal and is a frequent expert witness in criminal trials.
Experiences she has had while working in forensic anthropology spawned her best
selling novels. Each new story plays on an aspect of forensic anthropology and
matter classification that Dr. Reichs has personally used in her work, allowing
her main character, Temperance Brennan's work to be authentic. The Temperance
Brennan series: Déjà Dead, Death du Jour, Deadly Decisions, Fatal Voyage, and
most recently, Grave Secrets, are all published in hardcover by Scribner and
paperback by Pocket Books. Grave Secrets will be published July 9, 2002.
Kathy Reichs' first novel Déja Dead catapulted her to fame when it became a New
York Times bestseller and won the 1997 Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Her
fourth novel featuring Temperance Brennan, Fatal Voyage, was published in 2001.

>From Publishers Weekly
In bestseller Reichs's entertaining 10th Temperance Brennan forensic thriller
(after Break No Bones), Brennan, her relationship with Det. Andrew Ryan on the
rocks, welcomes the distraction of an unidentified New Brunswick skeleton from
Québec's cold case unit. But when the bones are determined to be that of an
adolescent girl, Brennan is convinced they belong to her childhood friend,
Évangéline Landry, who disappeared at age 15. Now Brennan must come to terms
with Évangéline's possible death, while trying to ignore her feelings for Ryan
as they investigate a series of teenage abduction murders that could be tied to
the mysterious bones. With her usual blend of cutting-edge forensic science,
nail-biting suspense and characters that pop off the page, Reichs, who's vice
president of the American Academy of Forensic Scientists and the producer of
Fox's Bones, has produced another winner in one of the genre's most satisfying
series. (Aug.)
