The Bone Hacker (A Temperance Brennan Novel, Book 22) By Kathy Reichs

In Kathy Reichs' gripping thriller, forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan is drawn into a puzzling case involving a series of disappearances on the islands of Turks and Caicos. It all starts when Tempe is called in to examine the remains of a person believed to have been struck by lightning. However, she soon discovers an unusual tattoo that leads her to uncover a much larger and more sinister mystery.

Over the years, several young men, all tourists, have vanished without a trace on the islands. The only connection between them is the odd locations where their bodies are found, along with the fact that they don't appear to have any involvement in criminal activities. As Tempe delves deeper into the investigation, she uncovers tantalizing leads that suggest a link to the islands' culture of gang violence.

However, Tempe begins to suspect that there may be more to the case than meets the eye when evidence emerges hinting at global implications. As the pressure mounts and the clock ticks down, Tempe finds herself facing danger from an unknown adversary. With time running out, she must race against the clock to unravel the truth before she becomes the next target.

Filled with twists, turns, and high-stakes suspense, Reichs' novel keeps readers on the edge of their seats until the final, heart-pounding conclusion.
