Death Du Jour is a gripping Temperance Brennan novel from world-class forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs, the international no. 1 bestselling crime thriller writer and the inspiration behind the hit TV series Bones.

On a bitterly cold March night in Montreal, forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan is exhuming the remains of a nun in the grounds of an old church. Hours later, Tempe is called to the scene of a horrifying arson. A young family has perished, but there is no explanation, no motive, and no witnesses.

From the charred remains of the inferno to a trail of sinister cult activity, Tempe faces a nerve-shattering case which will test her forensic expertiseβ€”and her instinct for survival.

Dr Kathy Reichs is a professional forensic anthropologist. She has worked for decades with chief medical examiners, the FBI, and even a United Nations Tribunal on Genocide. However, she is best known for her internationally bestselling Temperance Brennan novels, which draw on her remarkable experience to create the most vividly authentic, true-to-life crime thrillers on the market and which are the inspiration for the hit TV series Bones.

Many of the world's greatest thriller writers are huge fans of her work:

'Kathy Reichs writes smartβ€”no, make that brilliantβ€”mysteries that are as realistic as nonfiction and as fast-paced as the best thrillers about Jack Reacher, or Alex Cross.' – JAMES PATTERSON

'One of my favourite writers.' – KARIN SLAUGHTER

'I love Kathy Reichsβ€”always scary, always suspenseful, and I always learn something.' – LEE CHILD

'Nobody does forensics thrillers like Kathy Reichs. She's the real deal.' – DAVID BALDACCI

'Each book in Kathy Reichs's fantastic Temperance Brennan series is better than the last. They're filled with riveting twists and turnsβ€”and no matter how many books she writes, I just can't get enough!' – LISA SCOTTOLINE

'Nobody writes a more imaginative thriller than Kathy Reichs.' – CLIVE CUSSLER
