Fire and Bones by Kathy Reichs, the #1 New York Times bestselling author, returns with an exhilarating and intricate thriller featuring the ever-tenacious forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Faced with a perilous mystery in Washington, D.C., Tempe finds herself drawn into a labyrinthine investigation steeped in secrecy, danger, and violence.

Called to the nation's capital to examine victims of an enigmatic arson attack, Tempe's initial misgivings about the case quickly become justified. The fire occurs in the Foggy Bottom area, a neighbourhood known for its vibrant and tumultuous history. As Tempe gathers the fragments of evidence, it becomes increasingly apparent that the ownership of the incinerated property is shrouded in suspicion.

It’s never easy working fire scenes. Sensing a compelling story, ambitious telejournalist Ivy Doyle approaches Tempe, and together they form an unlikely partnership. As they delve into the past, they unearth a connection to the notorious Foggy Bottom Gang, a group of bootleggers and racketeers who thrived in the 1930s and 1940s. Although this historical link seems initially irrelevant, the investigation takes a turbulent turn when the son of a gang member is found murdered on his farm in Virginia.

When another property linked to the Foggy Bottom Gang is razed by fire, claiming yet another victim, it becomes undeniably clear that these incidents can no longer be dismissed as mere coincidences. Each step Tempe and Ivy take in their pursuit of the truth appears to be preempted, and the stakes escalate as they unravel a malevolent plot that puts their lives at risk.

As the gripping narrative unfolds, Tempe discovers that every path forward brings lethal threats closer to the forefront, intensifying her race against time to uncover the sinister forces at play. With breathtaking twists and turns, Fire and Bones is a masterfully crafted thriller that will leave readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.

Kathy Reichs expertly blends forensic science with chilling suspense, delivering a novel that resonates with authenticity and keeps readers guessing. Perfect for fans of compelling crime fiction and intriguing mysteries, Fire and Bones solidifies Reichs' reputation as a preeminent author in the genre.
