Download Death du Jour: A Temperance Brennan Novel, Book 2 AudioBook Free
Assaulted by the bitter cool of your Montreal winter, the American-born Dr. Temperance Brennan, Forensic Anthropologist for the Province of Quebec, digs for a corpse where Sister Elisabeth Nicolet, lifeless for over a hundred years and now a applicant for sainthood, should be lying down in her grave. A strange, small coffin, buried in the recesses of your decaying church, keeps the first clue to the cloistered nun's destiny. The puzzle bordering Sister Elisabeth Nicolet's life and loss of life provides a pleasant comparison to discoveries at a burning up chalet, where scorched and twisted systems await Tempe's professional know-how. Who were these people? What brought them to the gruesome destiny? And where are the children? Homicide Detective Andrew Ryan, with whom Tempe has a combustive background, joins her in the arson exploration. From the fireplace scene they are drawn into the worlds of any enigmatic and controversial sociologist, a secret commune, and a primate colony on a Carolina island. Featuring the sort of forensic aspect that only Kathy Reichs can offer - from skeletal reconstruction to insect analysis - Death du Jour needs the listener on a riveting quest from the morgue to the lab to the offense scene, from the heat of a barrier island to the frigid cool of a lethal ice storm. With this poignant and powerful work, Kathy Reichs confirms her position as a brilliant new crime-writing legend.
