Following the success of "Cross Bones," Kathy Reichs delves into a gripping international case in her latest thriller. Forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan is called to South Carolina to substitute for a negligent colleague, only to find herself teaching a lackluster archaeology field school at a Native American burial site. However, when she discovers a fresh skeleton among ancient remains, her friend Emma Rousseau, the local coroner, persuades her to assist with the investigation. Emma reveals a troubling secret, intensifying Tempe's involvement as the body count rises. An unidentified man is found hanging from a tree, and another corpse surfaces in a barrel, both bearing mysterious nicks and signs of strangulation. Tempe's investigation leads her to a street clinic with a hostile staff, a suspicious doctor, and a charismatic televangelist donor. As she navigates this complex case, the local sheriff remains skeptical, and Tempe's own life is put at risk. Meanwhile, her love life complicates matters further; Ryan, her current boyfriend, visits from Montreal, while her ex-husband Pete is investigating a local woman's disappearance, creating tension in their shared beach house. "Break No Bones" is a taut thriller filled with high-stakes crime and compelling characters, showcasing Reichs at her best.

Ero stata legata, le mani ai piedi, e abbandonata in un sotterraneo buio e freddo, circondata da resti umani. La dottoressa Tempe Brennan, esperta nel leggere le storie delle ossa, si ritrova prigioniera senza sapere il perché. Il panico la minaccia, ma non può arrendersi. Inizia a ricordare: una telefonata anonima l'aveva accusata di aver insabbiato la verità su un omicidio di un'ereditiera. Inoltre, il caso di tre donne anziane massacrate nei boschi di Montréal e gli errori inspiegabili che avrebbe commesso nell'analisi dei loro corpi, errori che la sua ambiziosa collega, l'anatomopatologa Marie-Andréa Briel, ha sempre corretto. In questa situazione disperata, Tempe ricompone il puzzle e si rende conto che è diventata il bersaglio. Solo lei può trovare il modo di liberarsi e scoprire chi l’ha voluta fuori dal gioco e perché. Con una narrazione intensa e avvincente, l'autrice offre un ritratto emozionante della sua eroina, Temperance Brennan, e costruisce un thriller che tiene il lettore con il fiato sospeso fino all'inaspettata rivelazione finale.
