| Synopsis: |
When a plane crashes high in the mountains of North Carolina, Temperance Brennan is one of the first on the scene. As a forensic anthropologist for the state, she serves on the region's disaster response team. The task that confronts her is a sad and sickening one. Putting normal life on hold, Tempe and her colleagues must painstakingly identify the victims. However, a chance discovery concerns her: a severed foot, well away from the crash site. And her examination of the foot throws up more questions than it answers. |
