About this audiobook
It’s sweltering in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Temperance Brennan, still recovering from neurosurgery following an aneurysm, is battling nightmares, migraines, and what she thinks might be hallucinations when she receives a series of mysterious text messages, each containing a new picture of a corpse that is missing its face and hands. Immediately, she’s anxious to know who the dead man is, and why the images were sent to her.
An identified corpse soon turns up, only partly answering her questions.
To win answers to the others, including the man’s identity, she must go rogue, working mostly outside the system. That’s because Tempe’s new boss holds a fierce grudge against her and is determined to keep her out of the case. Tempe bulls forward anyway, even as she begins questioning her instincts. But the clues she discovers are disturbing and confusing. Was the faceless man a spy? A trafficker? A target for assassination by the government? And why was he carrying the name of a child missing for almost a decade?
With help from law enforcement associates including her Montreal beau Andrew Ryan and the quick-witted, ex-homicide investigator Skinny Slidell, and utilizing new cutting-edge forensic methods, Tempe draws closer to the astonishing truth. “A complete success” (Booklist, starred review), “this is Kathy Reichs as you’ve never read her before” (David Baldacci).

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent! Perhaps her best yet. The personal struggles of Dr Reichs, as I fondly remember her as my fave prof at UNC-CH, mingled with the life of Tempe Brennen, make connecting with our heroin (and author) even more heartfelt. Dealing personally with anti-human trafficking I always appreciate our fave author exposing realities about this horrible truth. Thanks, Dr Reichs, once again for a great and personable read. And, as always, be well.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love Kathy Reichs, but she has one glaring fault. Almost every book she puts herself in danger and expects others to save her. Also, almost every book,again, she or her property is attacked, and she fails to see it’s either a warning that she is getting too close, or that the suspects want to see how close they are to getting arrested. For a woman that’s a brillant forensic pathologist, she is definately not Street savvy. After finding out there’s a serial killer in town, and he just loves attractive blonde runners (for example), she goes out on her run with no I’d or phone cause they annoy her while running.
All in all, it’s not too bad. Still way better than many an author.
