Summary
This is a Temperance Brennan novel, which spawned the TV show \"Bones\". Temperance is the main character and is working in a Canadian forensic lab. A dismembered female body is found in a trash bag, and several more follow in the same manner. Tempe examines the bones and tries to catch the killer as he gets closer and closer to her. A very good book! I love the TV show \"Bones\" and while the books are similar, they are different enough to enjoy.
