#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs returns with a riveting novel featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. Set in sweltering Charlotte, North Carolina, Tempe, still recovering from neurosurgery, battles nightmares and migraines when she receives mysterious texts with images of a faceless corpse. Eager to identify the dead man and understand why the images were sent to her, she faces obstacles as an unidentified corpse is found, only partially answering her questions. Her new boss, holding a grudge against her, tries to keep her out of the investigation, forcing Tempe to work mostly outside the system. Despite her doubts about her instincts, she pushes forward, uncovering disturbing clues. Was the faceless man a spy, a trafficker, or a target for assassination? The corpse is linked to a child missing for nearly a decade, raising more questions. With the help of law enforcement associates, including her Montreal beau Andrew Ryan and ex-homicide investigator Skinny Slidell, Tempe employs cutting-edge forensic methods to uncover the truth. However, as she delves deeper, the revelations become darker and more twisted, leading her to confront the complexities of the case.
