Sinossi
Il cadavere di un uomo colpito alla testa viene ritrovato in uno sgabuzzino, dove è rimasto intrappolato per giorni. Mentre l'antropologa forense Tempe Brennan cerca di trovare una risposta alle ferite e fratture, a prima vista inspiegabili, riportate dalla vittima, qualcuno le invia la fotografia di un antico scheletro. A detta dello sconosciuto, la foto conterrebbe la chiave per risolvere il caso e incastrare il colpevole. Intanto, un numero sempre maggiore di indizi spinge Tempe e il detective Andrew Ryan, suo eterno fidanzato, a partire alla volta di Israele, per indagare sul contrabbando di reperti archeologici. Lì, Tempe viene a sapere di uno strano ossario a Masada...

I would actually give this book 2.5 stars if that was a possibility. Since it's not, I rounded down. I'm a huge fan of the TV show "Bones." So when I encountered this book by "Bones" creator Kathy Reichs at a second-hand bookstore, I grabbed it, thinking that of course I would like the book too. I was Leggi tutto
Honestly, I want to give the book 1.5 stars, but it won't let me. For series, a one star means I definitely won't read the next book, but in this case, I probably will. However, this book was a chore to get through. I feel like Reichs was jumping on the Dan Brown bandwagon with this book. At an auto Leggi tutto
