Dr Temperance Brennan, an expert on identifying bones, is brought in to investigate the deaths of a set of twins whose murder may be connected to a local biker gang. She discovers that the deaths are related to the death of a young girl, a death she investigated years before. Things take a turn for the worse when her nephew Kit comes to visit and becomes obsessed with the world of biking gangs and put his own life in danger by befriending members of the gangs.

Kathy Reichs has the uncanny ability of writing what is essentially a soap opera like story and giving it a forensic twist that makes it twice as entertaining. She gives us insights into the life of Tempe that prevent her from turning into a lifeless character and instead make her all the more real, and her situation all the more dangerous. This series of novels seems to be going from strength to strength, and I hope that they get even better over time.
