Kathy Reichs, praised by Ann Rule as "in a class by herself," captivated readers with her debut novel, "Deja Dead." In her latest forensic thriller, she delves into the aftermath of a devastating commercial airliner crash in western North Carolina, where an Air TransSouth flight has gone down, claiming eighty-eight lives. Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, a member of the regional DMORT team, rushes to the scene to assist in the grim task of body recovery and identification. Amid the chaos of wreckage and loss, Tempe grapples with the possibility that her daughter, Katy, may be among the victims. As she collaborates with the FBI, NTSB, and other agencies, questions arise: Was the crash caused by a bomb, an insurance scheme, a political hit, or mechanical failure? The discovery of a disembodied foot near the wreckage complicates matters, as it doesn’t match any passenger. Tempe's investigation leads her to unsettling evidence in the surrounding area, raising concerns about those who may want to impede her progress. With the support of Montreal detective Andrew Ryan and a special dog named Boyd, Tempe must summon her courage and forensic expertise to unravel a complex web of deceit and danger, showcasing Reichs' signature blend of authenticity, wit, and gripping storytelling.
