Sinopsis
A gripping and explosive new thriller from internationally acclaimed forensic anthropologist and New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs, featuring Temperance Brennan and Detective Andrew Ryan on the trail of a modern murder and an ancient biblical mystery... When an Orthodox Jewish man is found shot to death in Montreal, Temperance Brennan is called in to examine the body and to figure out the puzzling damage to the corpse. Unexpectedly, a stranger slips her a photograph of a skeleton and assures her it is the key to the victim's death. Before she knows it, Tempe is involved in an international mystery as old as Jesus, and one that could lead to the rewriting of two thousand years of religious history. As Tempe investigates, she learns that the stranger's picture shows bones uncovered during an archaeological dig. She discovers the Montreal shooting victim ran an import business that just might have been a front for the trading of black market antiquities. Along with Detective Andrew Ryan and biblical archaeologist Jake Drum, Tempe travels to Israel to probe the origins of the skeleton and the ancient crypt in which it was found. Together they make a startling discovery that raises radical questions about Christ's death and places them squarely in the middle of a swirling controversy. Could one of the tombs really be Christ's last resting place? Are the bones in the ancient ossuary the last remnants of James, the brother of Jesus, as the inscription claims? Or has someone concocted an elaborate hoax? Using her skills as a forensic scientist, Tempe plunges into the most controversial case of her career. The stakes have never been higher -- the more she learns, the greater the danger. And though Ryan is sexier and more engaging than ever, he may not be able to protect Tempe in this place where there seem to be so many foes. Cross Bones, with its lightning pace, intricately plotted story, riveting and state-of-the-art forensic detail, is Kathy Reichs's most compelling and dramatic novel yet.
Reseñas
El Jan 16 2014, un lector dijo:
Temperance Brennan, who is the heroine of a series of books and now a tv series, is a real person. She gets irritated, ratty, and sometimes difficult and so do her friends. This story starts out with the autopsy on an orthodox Jewish man, who has been wounded in such a way that his face needs reconstruction. When a stranger slips her a photo which he says is ?the cause of what happened? to the man, a little study soon makes it apparent that he is talking about a skeleton from Masada, in Israel. By the end of the story, both Temperance and her long-time boyfriend, Andrew Ryan, are sorting things in Israel, with the help of an Israeli detective and an anthropologist friend of Tempe?s. This is a really riveting story, suggestive at least of a different ending to the Jesus story than the one we have been told.
