'The lab lady most likely to dethrone Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta' (USA Today), forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan - the alter ego of the internationally bestselling author Kathy Reichs - returns in a heart-pounding race to find a killer taunting her with a message in the bones of his victims.
Tempe's work at the Jeffersonian Institute is put on hold when Special Agent Seeley Booth, stalled on a case deposing a Chicago mob family, calls her in to assist with a bizarre discovery: a plastic bag of skeletal remains - and a chilling note - left on the steps of a Federal building. Tempe determines the bones are from different corpses, suggesting a serial killer's handiwork. A suspect is quickly taken into custody, but Tempe senses the case is far from closed. And as Booth's Mafia case heats up with violent twists and bloody discoveries, including ties to one of Chicago's most gruesome and notorious killers, Tempe must unravel the story of the bones, where the truth lies buried - in order to stay alive.

"'Let other crime shows compete for your attention by growing ever more sick, gory and graphic. Bones is built on a more traditional and solid foundation: the strength of its characters...the season's most appealing new crime fighters'" (USA Today)
"'I've been yearning for a forensic anthropologist to turn up for some time now, preferably one who combines a feisty sexuality with a prickly reticence, and a brain of forbidding power with a cuddly proficiency in martial arts and sharpshooting. Bones answered all these prayers, by unleashing the mighty force that is Temperance Brennan'" (Pete Clark Evening Standard)
"'smouldering performances make Bones a crime series you can really get your teeth into... assured and amusing'" (Stephen Armstrong Sunday Times)
"'This is good, lively, perhaps too fast-moving fun and has some excellent lines'" (Financial Times)
