Bones Are Forever

___________________________________

A gripping Temperance Brennan novel from the world-class forensic anthropologist and #1 bestselling author Kathy Reichs

A newborn baby is found wedged in a vanity cabinet in a rundown apartment near Montreal.

Dr Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist to the province of Quebec, is brought in to investigate. While there, she discovers the mummified remains of two more babies within the same room.

Shocked and distressed, Tempe must use all her skills and inner strength to focus on the facts. But when the autopsies reveal that the children died of unnatural causes, the hunt for the mother - a young woman with a seedy past and at least three aliases - is on.

The trail leads Tempe to Yellowknife, a cold, desolate diamond-mining town on the edge of the Arctic Circle, where her quest for the truth only throws up more questions, more secrets, and more dead bodies.

Taking risks and working alone, Tempe refuses to give up until she has discovered why the babies died. But in such a hostile environment, can she avoid being the next victim?

Reviews

You’ll want to keep turning the pages long after lights out to find out what happens next … Reichs’ real-life expertise gives her novels an authenticity that most other crime novelists would kill for

—— Michelle Davies , Daily Express

Once again Reichs spins a genuinely gripping tale in an interesting and different environment that’s peppered with authentic forensic science and peopled with well drawn, rounded characters.

—— Myles McWeeney , Irish Independent

A truly impressive writer

—— Barry Forshaw , We love this book

With Kathy Reichs the reader knows they're in the hands of an expert

—— Sunday Express

This is a fast moving, deftly plotted tale which has the reader on the edge of their seat. Not only is Reichs a top forensic anthropologist herself, but she’s also a top writer. One to savour. *****

—— Press Association

This book is ideal for fans of mystery and intrigue

—— No. 1 Magazine

Fascinating and compassionate

—— Daily Telegraph on The Hypnotist's Love Story

A bittersweet tale by a gifted writer

—— Women's Weekly on What Alice Forgot

Fresh, very funny and entertaining, but also intelligent and unsentimental

—— Marian Keyes on Three Wishes

The story is cleverly plotted, full of suspense and so well-written that it pulls you in from the first page

—— Sunday Mirror

Dark and compelling, this is a must read

—— Sun

If you like Jodi Picoult, you'll love this addictive new book

—— Essentials

It's a tense, page-turning story which gradually draws everyone together in a devastating climax. The writing is insightful on the subjects of families and friends, parents and children, husbands and wives. But what makes this a great read are the agonising dilemmas the characters face over blame and guilt, forgiveness and retribution, love and betrayal

—— The Mail on Sunday, You Magazine

This is such a clever idea. This is powerful, moving and gripping stuff

—— Star Magazine

The book's finely-wrought tension holds up until the final page

—— The Telegraph

Manages to enrich and refresh a character we thought we knew too well. Solo is a terrific twisting thriller – just when you smugly think you have spotted a huge hole in the plot, Boyd turns it breathtakingly around.

—— David Mills , Sunday Times

Since the death of Ian Fleming, plenty of writers have tried their hand at perpetuating the career of James Bond, with mixed results. Boyd’s Solo is undoubtedly one of the best.

—— Mail on Sunday

A triumphant thriller worthy of Bond’s creator Ian Fleming.

—— Daily Express

I found myself wondering if Boyd had outdone Fleming.

—— Nicholas Lezard , Guardian

[Boyd is] an ideal writer of James Bond novels, and this one, his first, is very good

—— William Leith , Evening Standard

Perfectly judged homage

—— Mail on Sunday

A brand new James Bond adventure combining all the glamour and excitement of Fleming’s original novels with the masterful storytelling of William Boyd

—— Western Morning News

A very good piece of literary ventriloquism, with a great baddie

—— Heathrow Express

Fleming’s James Bond lives again in this perfectly judged homage

—— Mail on Sunday

Robert Harris is the master of the political thriller and his latest finds him in fine form.

—— Press Association

Both gripping thriller and Buchanesque adventure: its revelations impeccably paced and its original material used to poignant effect… An Officer and a Spy is carried throughout by the peerless characterisation of Picquart… But most of all it is the honest, implacable soldier’s dawning realisation that the institutions in which he has placed his faith are appallingly corrupt that has the most tenacious hold on the reader. It still has power to shock – and it leaves us in no doubt as to an old story’s continuing resonance.

—— Christobel Kent , Guardian

An event that obsessed France and the world is retold here, in forensic detail, with great clarity and humanity.

—— Country Life

I have just had a preview copy of Robert Harris’s new novel An Officer and a Spy, a thriller based on the Dreyfus case. Like John le Carré, Harris is interested in rogue intelligence, corrupted by politics. Unlike le Carré he does not lay it on too thick. The story of Dreyfus, a Jewish army officer convicted in France for spying for the Germans then exonerated, is one of history’s great political dramas. Harris backs the power of argument and reason. Politicians reportedly took Charles Moore’s Thatcher biography with them on holiday. Harris’s thriller would be perfect for the trip home.’

—— Sarah Sands, Editor , Evening Standard

I found it hard to put down, with several ingenious twists

—— Jake Kerridge , Sunday Express

This is the perfect beach read, absolutely gripping and with a pacey storyline that’s guaranteed to see you racing to the final page within days

—— Women's Way

Absolutely loved The Never List. Absorbing, innovative and thought provoking. Great read too! Fantastic new voice in fiction

—— Martina Cole

If you’re looking for an edge-of-your-seat thriller, then this one is sure to suit
