Summary
Its a summer of sizzling heat in Charlotte, where Dr. Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist for the North Carolina medical examiner, looks forward to her first vacation in years. A romantic vacation. She's almost out the door when the bones start appearing. A newborn's charred remains turn up in a woodstove, the mother nowhere to be found. A small plane crashes, leaving pilot and passenger burned beyond recognition, a mysterious black substance covering the bodies. And on a remote farm outside Charlotte, Tempe's dog, Boyd, unearths a set of puzzling remains. Everything must wait on the bones. What story do they tell? Why are the X-rays and DNA so perplexing? Who is trying to keep Tempe from the answers? And who is following her and her daughter, Katy?
