Spider Bones

#1 New York Times bestselling author and producer of the FOX television hit Bones KATHY REICHS ensnares Dr. Temperance Brennan in a chilling puzzle of death and identity—in this superb addition to her "fascinating" (Entertainment Weekly) forensic series.

One man, two deaths—four decades apart. A stunning story of deceit and murder can't stay buried forever.

When Tempe Brennan is called to the scene of a Quebec drowning, shocking discoveries await: the victim—identified as one John Lowery—was engaged in a bizarre sexual practice when he died; and the same John Lowery was an American soldier declared dead in 1968, after a Huey crash in Vietnam. Who then, Tempe sets off to find out, is buried in the vet's North Carolina grave? Exhuming the remains and having them analyzed at a military compound in Hawaii gets complicated when Tempe's ex, Detective Andrew Ryan, appears . . . and when a Honolulu ME consults with her on who or what lethally attacked a young victim—a shark, or a more sinister predator? And when Lowery's dog tags turn up linked to yet another corpse, Tempe must deconstruct a twisting tale of death that spans years, continents, and too many tragic losses.
