Résumé

In a house under renovation in Charlotte, North Carolina, a plumber discovers a cellar no one knew about, and some rather grisly remains the severed head of a teenage girl, several decapitated chickens and a couple of cauldrons containing beads, feathers, long bones, and other relics of religious ceremonies. In a river not far away, a torso is found, that of an adolescent boy. Temperance Brennan is called in to investigate and a complex and riveting tale unfolds in this, Kathy Reichs eleventh taut and constantly surprising Temperance Brennan mystery. Nothing is clear, neither when the deaths occurred, nor where. Was the skull brought to the cellar or was the girl murdered there? Citizen vigilantes want a witch hunt, led by a preacher turned politician, they blame devil worshippers and Wiccans, and they are looking for revenge. Reichs trademark forensic science is more fascinating than ever as Temperance Brennan must reconcile contradictory evidence to discover what happened. Devil Bones, is Reichs at her best.
