Book Summary
A woman has vanished while digging a dinosaur bone bed in
the remote wilderness of Canada. Somehow, the only evidence
has made its way to the inbox of Chief Medical Examiner Kay
Scarpetta, over two thousand miles away in Boston. She has
no idea why. But as events unfold with alarming speed,
Scarpetta begins to suspect that the paleontologist’s
disappearance is connected to a series of crimes much
closer to home: a gruesome murder, inexplicable tortures,
and trace evidence from the last living creatures of the
dinosaur age.
When she turns to those around her,
Scarpetta finds that the danger and suspicion have
penetrated even her closest circles. Her niece Lucy speaks
in riddles. Her lead investigator, Pete Marino, and FBI
forensic psychologist and husband, Benton Wesley, have
secrets of their own. Feeling alone and betrayed, Scarpetta
is tempted by someone from her past as she tracks a killer
both cunning and cruel.
This is Kay Scarpetta as you
have never seen her before. The Bone Bed is a
must read for any fan of this series, or an ideal starting
point for new readers.
