Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

"The forensic thriller meets a formidable slice of history....A riveting mystery with an intricately emotional conclusion."

--Washington Post

Bones of Betrayal is the fourth heart-racing "Body Farm" thriller from the world's top forensic anthropologist. Kathy Reichs calls author Jefferson Bass, "the real deal," and his hero Bill Brockton has already taken his rightful place alongside Patricia Cornwell's Kay Scarpetta and the investigators on TV's "C.S.I." In Bones of Betrayal, a hideous murder has links that connect it to World War Two's Manhattan Project and the development of the atomic bomb--adding a fascinating historical element that enriches an already superior crime series.

A frozen corpse found in a lake near the Oak Ridge, Tenn., nuclear research facility turns out to be that of Dr. Leonard Novak, one of the leaders of the Manhattan Project. When the source of death, potent radioactive material the old man somehow ingested, poisons the local medical examiner, forensic anthropologist Dr. Bill Brockton suspects a link between the present-day murder and long-forgotten events.
