Sinopse
#1 New York Times bestselling author and producer of the Fox hit series Bones, Kathy Reichs returns with an unforgettable new novel featuring forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan, whose examination of a mysterious hit-and-run victim triggers an investigation into human trafficking. When Charlotte police discover the body of a teenage girl along a desolate stretch of two-lane highway, Temperance Brennan fears the worst. The girlâÈçs body shows signs of foul play. Inside her purse, police find an airline club card bearing the name of prominent local businessman John-Henry Story, who died in a horrific fire months earlier. How did Story and the girl know each other? Was she an illegal immigrant turning tricks? Was she murdered? Was he? Tempe must also examine a bundle of Peruvian dog mummies confiscated by U.S. Customs. A Desert Storm veteran named Dominick Rockett stands accused of smuggling the objects into the country. Could there be some connection between the trafficking of antiquities and the trafficking of humans? As the complications pile on, Tempe must also grapple with personal turmoil. Her daughter, Katy, grieving the death of her boyfriend in Afghanistan, impulsively enlists in the army. Meanwhile, KatyâÈçs father, Pete, is growing frustrated by TempeâÈçs reluctance to finalize their divorce. As pressure mounts from all corners, Tempe soon finds herself at the center of a conspiracy that extends all the way from South America to Afghanistan and right to the center of Charlotte. A tour de force of imagination, Bones of the Lost is a roller coaster of plot twists, punctuated by TempeâÈçs fierce wit and forensic know-how. âÈêA genius at building suspenseâÈë (New York Daily News), Kathy Reichs is at her brilliant best in this sixteenth installment of the Temperance Brennan series. With the Fox series Bones in its ninth season, Kathy Reichs has reached new heights in suspenseful storytelling.

Bones of the Lost is the sixteenth full-length novel in the popular Temperance Brennan series by forensic anthropologist and author, Kathy Reichs. After putting her heroine into an embarrassing situation in the first chapter (thereby establishing, once again, her fallibility and humanity), Reichs goes on to involve Tempe in examining illegally imported Peruvian dog bones, an unidentified teenage hit-and-run victim, a skull found in embedded in excrement and the year-old, exhumed bones of gunshot victims. Tempe, beyond her usual remit, is determined to identify the teen and find her killer, but before she can get far with that, her ex, Pete, stirs her sense of fairness on behalf of a marine accused of murder, and she finds herself in Afghanistan. Back in Charlotte, Tempe and Slidell continue to investigate until, finally, Tempe once again jumps in without back-up and almost gets herself killed. Fans of Andrew Ryan will be disappointed in this instalment as he makes only the briefest of appearances. Pete, on the other hand, despite his looming wedding to Summer, seems to be a constant presence in Tempe’s life. The plot is clever, but has a few barely credible twists, though the developing character and dialogue of Skinny Slidell, and Tempe’s dry inner monologue, compensate. As always, Reichs includes some interesting facts: the effect of desert burial on bones; the effect of bullets on bone structure; the difference between ivory and bone; the results of a vehicular impact on the body; and human trafficking and sex slavery. Definitely a page-turner.
