Spider Bones by Kathy Reichs

The dead can’t speak — but their bones can tell everything.

When a body recovered from a Quebec lake is identified as a U.S. soldier declared dead in Vietnam, forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan is pulled into a web of deception stretching across continents and decades. As the investigation unravels buried secrets, Tempe must confront a case where science and identity collide — and the truth could destroy lives on both sides of the border.

Fast-paced, forensic, and deeply human, Spider Bones delivers Kathy Reichs at her most compelling — blending science, suspense, and psychological depth in a mystery only she could craft.
