A gripping high-stakes thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan from
Number One Bestselling author Kathy Reichs. 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 . . . PRAISE FOR KATHY REICHS:
