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.
