Death Du Jour – Kathy Reichs

Description

Death du Jour by Kathy Reichs is the second instalment in the bestselling Temperance Brennan series, blending forensic science with gripping crime fiction. Set against the icy backdrop of a Montreal winter, this thriller follows Dr. Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist working for the Province of Quebec. When a routine exhumation for a potential sainthood candidate reveals unsettling clues, Tempe is pulled into a mystery far darker than expected.

What begins in the crumbling grounds of a church quickly escalates when charred bodies are discovered in a remote chalet fire. Teaming up once again with Homicide Detective Andrew Ryan, whose complicated history with Tempe adds tension and spark to the narrative, they follow a trail leading from the frigid streets of Montreal to a shadowy commune and a secluded primate colony on a Carolina island. Kathy Reichs, herself a forensic anthropologist, infuses the novel with authentic procedural detail and sharp, fast-paced storytelling.
