The investigation begins when the badly decomposed bones of a woman are discovered in the grounds of an abandoned monastery. Because the remains are too decomposed for a standard autopsy, the case is passed to Dr Brennan, whose forensic expertise allows her to begin piecing together the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death.

A Serial Killer Investigation

As Brennan researches recent disappearances in the city, she becomes convinced that the remains are connected to a serial killer. However, Detective Claudel, who is leading the investigation, is deeply sceptical of her theory.

Brennan’s forensic expertise and her contacts at Quantico eventually help convince Claudel that her suspicions may be correct. By then, however, the number of victims has grown and the investigation has become increasingly urgent.

Reading the Bones

Determined to uncover the truth, Brennan takes matters into her own hands and begins re-examining remains from previous unsolved murders. Her ability to interpret evidence from the bones of the dead becomes central to her attempt to identify the killer and understand the shocking violence behind the cases.

But Brennan is not working against the clock alone. Before she can make the crucial breakthrough, the killer begins closing in on her.
