Dr. Temperance Brennan's Cross Bones

The book “Cross Bones” is about a forensic anthropologist, Dr. Temperance Brennan. She is an expert at examining decomposed corpses. She is called to consult a murder because an Orthodox Jewish man was found shot in Montreal. She is a strong empowered woman. She sees that it is her job to restore the identity of the deceased. The Orthodox Jewish man’s body was found dismembered in the cupboard surrounded by cats. Unannounced, a stranger sneaks in and slips Temperance a photograph. The photo was of a skeleton at an archaeological site and assures her that this is the key to the victim’s death. This leads her to Israel, to Masada and Jerusalem, and right to the beginnings of the Christian era. This international mystery could rewrite 2000 years
