About the book:
The 20th novel in the bestselling Temperance Brennan series, the inspiration behind the long-running Fox Television show Bones, THE BONE CODE (Scribner; July 6, 2021) ignites a terrifying series of events when an investigation connects two cases, fifteen years and a thousand miles apart, to a new and deadly pandemic ravaging South Carolina.
When forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan is called in to examine the remains of two bodies that have been dredged up by a hurricane off the coast of Charleston, she is immediately struck by the similarity to an unsolved case she worked fifteen years ago—in Montreal. As she delves deeper into the two uncanny tragedies, intent on figuring out just how they are connected, or not, Tempe and her longtime beau Andrew Ryan are drawn into a web that seemingly involves an international pharmaceutical company that produces flu vaccines.
When Ryan is injured in an attack that is clearly meant as a warning, Tempe realizes she must be on the brink of uncovering a massive conspiracy—but to do what, and how did the murdered women dumped on two different shores years apart get in the way? All the while, a new and deadly pandemic is wreaking havoc on the Covid-traumatized population of South Carolina, and the timing of it all raises Tempe’s suspicions that something more than coincidence is at play.
An absorbing look at the sinister uses to which genetics can be put, and featuring a cascade of ever-more-shocking revelations, THE BONE CODE is Temperance Brennan’s most astonishing case yet—one that gives new meaning to today’s headlines.
