In this latest thriller from New York Times best-selling writer Jefferson Bass, Dr. Bill Brockton discovers the dark area of the Sunshine express when he's called in to investigate individual remains on the grounds of any males' reform institution in Florida. The starting point of summer season brings predictably steamy weather to the Body Farm, Dr. Bill Brockton's human-decomposition research facility at the University of Tennessee. But Brockton's about to get more high temperature than he's bargained for when Angie St. Claire, a forensic analyst with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, asks him to help prove that her sister's death was not suicide, but murder. Brockton's quick consulting trip takes a long, harrowing detour when bone fragments begin arriving amid the pines and live oaks of the Florida panhandle. Two adolescent skulls - ravaged by time and pets or animals, but bearing the telltale indications of lethal fractures - send Brockton, Angie, and Special Agent Stu Vickery on a search for the long-lost patients. The quest leads those to the ruins of the North Florida Boys' Reformatory, a notorious juvenile detention facility that attained a fiery end more than forty years ago. Guided by the discovery of a journal stored by one of the school's young "students," Brockton's team confirms a cluster of shallow graves, all of them including the bone fragments of males who experienced violent deaths. The graves confirm one of the diary's grim boasts: that certain wrong move could land a youngster in the Bone Lawn. But as the inspection expands, it encounters opposition from the local sheriff, who's significantly less than happy to find forensic experts from their state capital and the Body Farm digging up dirt and grime in his state. As Brockton and his team close in on the reality, they find skeletons in a few surprisingly prominent closets.... plus they learn that the spirits of days gone by pose perilous outcomes in today's.
