Bare Bones

During one of the hottest summers on record, Dr. Temperance Brennan is haunted by a string of horrifying events. First, the bones of a newborn baby are discovered in a wood stove, and the mother is nowhere to be found. Next, a plane crashes into a rock face, leaving the pilot and passenger burned beyond recognition and covered in an unknown substance. Then, a store of bones is found in a remote corner of the county. What has happened, and who will be the next victim? The answers lie hidden deep within the bones, but Tempe must find them in time to stop further disaster.

Grave Secrets

In the searing heat of Guatemala, Dr. Temperance Brennan must harden herself against the horrors she excavates. Four young girls go missing from Guatemala City, and when a skeleton is found at the back of a rundown hotel, only someone with Tempe's expertise can deduce the identity and cause of death. However, her search for answers is blocked at every turn, as some people will stop at nothing to keep Guatemala's secrets buried.

Fatal Voyage

A plane crashes high in the mountains of North Carolina, and a severed foot is discovered some distance from the crash site. Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan is first on the scene, facing a sickening task that raises more questions than answers. When Tempe starts asking dangerous questions, her professional standing is threatened. Convinced that another corpse lies in the woods, Tempe pits herself against a conspiracy of silence and uncovers a shocking tale of deceit and depravity.

Deadly Decisions

A nine-year-old girl is killed in crossfire on her way to ballet class, followed by the discovery of a teenager's body found hundreds of miles away. Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan struggles to remain professional, but when the young girl’s body is wheeled into the morgue, she cannot help but react. An exhumation reveals the bones of another innocent in a hidden grave near a biker gang headquarters, prompting Tempe to investigate the lawless underworld of organized crime.

Death Du Jour

On a bitterly cold March night in Montreal, forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan exhumed the remains of a nun in the grounds of an old church. Hours later, she is called to the scene of a horrifying arson where a young family has perished, with no explanation, motive, or witnesses. From the charred remains to a trail of sinister cult activity, Tempe faces a nerve-shattering case that will test her forensic expertise and instinct for survival.

Deja Dead

Bagged and discarded, the dismembered body of a woman is discovered in the grounds of an abandoned monastery. Dr. Temperance Brennan, Director of Forensic Anthropology for Quebec, has been researching recent disappearances in the city and becomes convinced that a serial killer is at work. When no one else seems to care, her anger drives her to take matters into her own hands, but her determined probing places those closest to her in mortal danger. Can Tempe make her crucial breakthrough before the killer strikes again?
