April 2008 Debut of the Month.

A new writing team bring us a great thriller with fascinating forensic detail made all the more gripping by knowing that one of the authors is the forensic anthropologist who set up ‘The Body Farm’ at the University of Tennessee. A great plot and engrossing detail make for a great read.



Synopsis

Carved in Bone by Jefferson Bass

A woman's corpse lies hidden in a cave in the mountains of East Tennessee. Undiscovered for thirty years, her body has been transformed into a near-perfect mummy. Clueless, the local police enlist the help of Dr Bill Brockton, renowned anthropologist. But even he is baffled by the case - unfolding in an environment, where nothing is what it seems.
