From the summer of sizzling heat in Charlotte where Dr. Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist for the NEW YORK medical examiner, looks forward to her first vacation in years. A romantic vacation. She's almost out the door when the bones start appearing.
A newborn's charred remains arrive in a woodstove. A little plane crashes in a NEW YORK cornfield on the sunny afternoon. Both pilot and passenger are burned beyond recognition. And what is the mysterious black substance covering the bodies? Most puzzling of most are the bones learned at a remote farm outside Charlotte. The remains seem to be of animal origin, but Tempe is shocked when she gets these to her lab.
With help from a special detective friend, Tempe must investigate a poignant and terrifying case that comes at the worst possible moment. Daughter Katy has a new boyfriend who Tempe fears may have something to cover. And important personal decisions face Tempe. Is it time for emotional commitment? Will she have the opportunity to find out?
Everything must wait on the bones. Why are the X rays and DNA so perplexing? Who's seeking to keep Tempe from the answers? Someone is following her and Katy. That someone must be stopped before it's too late.
