Dr. Tempe Brennan is in Guatemala with a forensic team from that country, uncovering and documenting victims killed by military during the civil unrest twenty years ago. They are concentrated on a well in a small village where twenty three bodies, women and children, are found. The work is draining both physically and emotionally but Brennan feels a need to document what was done there.
The violence isn't over. Two of Tempe's colleagues are attacked, one killed, one left in a coma. Young women are disappearing in Guatemala City. Four have vanished and one is the daughter of the Canadian ambassador. Is there a serial killer at work? Tempe is approached by the police and asked t consult on the case.
This is the fifth book in the Temperance Brennan series. Readers will learn about forensic techniques along with a suspenseful uncovering of missing girls and what has happened to them. Tempe has two love interests in the story and it is unclear which man she will pick. This book is recommended for mystery readers.
