Forensic science meets literary fiction. A skull in one place, a torso in another. Are they connected? Thirty years ago, the authorities didn’t think so. But, the ingenious forensic anthropologist Dr. Sebastien Grey is now on the case, and he believes they both belong to the same victim - an unidentified man who was shot, dismembered, scattered in two states and burned. But, time is not the only thing standing in the way of the truth. A pair of professional rivals, a spy inside the sheriff’s office and a local family with a dark secret are all obstacles to untying this murderous knot. This second book in the Sebastien Grey series finds Dr. Grey once again in the Black Hills of South Dakota and teamed up with Tiffany Reese - a shrewd and tough detective who doubles as the love of his life and the only woman who can coax him out of his awkward social isolation. Will their relationship survive the pressure of high stakes cold case work?
I loved this novel from page 1. The way the characters are built makes your really believe in them. The forensic detail was fascinating and the plot was well structured. I cant wait for the next book in the series!
I liked that this novel was fast paced procedural with a good twist. The characters were interesting and the setting was too.
