Reviews
[A] fine thriller...this third installment is the best of a steadily improving series, but it's doubtful we've seen the finest moments yet., A superb mystery...written with more flair and literary sensibility than anything by John Grisham., A superb mystery-well-plotted, filled with memorable characters, based on accurate forensic science., CARVED IN BONE introduces a captivating protagonist and is full of obscure, fascinating forensics. [A] fine new talent., "[F]ascinating...a delightful course in "how to examine a skeleton," and the intrigues of the Tennessee moonshine backwoods!"

Synopsis
In two previous New York Times bestselling novels, Jefferson Bass enthralled readers with ripped-from-the-headlines forensic cases, memorable characters, and plots that "rival Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). Drawing on research at the Body Farm--three acres of land in the backwoods of Tennessee, where bodies are left to the elements to illuminate human decomposition--Bass has moved fiction to a fascinating new realm, with forensics expertise drawn from his five decades of work as the world's leading forensic anthropologist. But this latest novel cements Jefferson Bass as one of the finest writers of suspense working today, and in a work of drama, cunning, and heartbreak, thrills the reader with fiction that feels all too real. A woman's charred body has been found inside a burned car perched atop a hill in Knoxville. Is it accidental death, or murder followed by arson? Forensic anthropologist Bill Brockton's quest for answers prompts an experiment straight from Dante's Inferno: In the dark of night, he puts bodies to the torch, researching how fire consumes flesh and bone. In the meantime, Brockton is sent a mysterious package--a set of cremated remains that looks entirely unreal. With the help of a local crematorium, he investigates and discovers a truth too horrifying to believe: A facility in another state has not been disposing of bodies properly, instead scattering them all around the grounds. Little does Brockton know that his research is about to collide with reality--with the force of a lit match meeting spilled gasoline. En route to trial, his nemesis, medical examiner Garland Hamilton, has escaped from custody. What follows is a deadly game of cat and mouse, played for the ultimate stakes: Brockton's own life. With help from his loyal graduate assistant, Miranda, and ace criminalist Art Bohanan, Brockton eventually tracks Hamilton, but when the police arrive, they find only a smoldering ruin. Sifting through the ashes, Brockton finds the incinerated remains of Hamilton . . . or does he? The answer--along with Brockton's ultimate test--comes in a searing moment of truth., In two previous New York Times bestselling novels, Jefferson Bass enthralled readers with ripped-from-the-headlines forensic cases, memorable characters, and plots that "rival Kathy Reichs and Patricia Cornwell" ( Seattle Post-Intelligencer ).

  • Excellent Book...Jefferson Bass is a great Author.

    If you love great murder mysteries you will love this book..I have personal experiences with Dr. Bass. I attended the Body Farm back in 2004 and graduated from the academy. Trust me you will not be disappointed with any of his readings.

  • A Must Read..

    I love jefferson bass' style of writing. I'm a fan of all the body farm novels. I can pick one up and read it from cover to cover no problem. He also uses real neighborhoods, streets, places and such; and the book takes place in knoxville where i used to live. So its easy to relate.

  • Wonderful

    Great

  • It Could have been better

    I really did not like this book compared to the other two books. The story just seemed dragged out the other two books kept me at the edge of my seat the whole time.
