A body is found in a barrel of asphalt in a landfill just before Raceweek when 200,000 fans are pouring into town. The next day a NASCAR crewmember visits Temperance Brennan at the MCME and tells his story. His sister, Cyndi Gamble, then a high school senior who wanted to be a NASCAR driver, disappeared twelve years before along with her boyfriend, Cale Lovette. Lovette used to hang out with a group of right-wing extremists known as the Patriot Posse. Is the body Cyndi’s? Or Cale’s?
At the time of their disappearance, the FBI joined the investigation because of Cale’s association with extremists. But the search was quickly terminated. Was there a cover-up? Tempe considers the multiple theories: did the pair take off together to join the underground militia and then get killed by militia types? Did Cale kill Cyndi and disappear into the militia underground?
The case gets more complex when another man, Ted Raines, is identified as missing in Charlotte, where he had gone for the big race. Ted was an employee of the CDC in Atlantic. Could the body be his? What could Raines—if it is Raines—have been up to?

Traveling, along with another book, to fulfill wishes. Hope you like them!
What a surprise!!!! Thank you for thinking of me.
I was disappointed in this story. The last few books by Kathy Reichs have been shadows of the books that she used to write, before "Bones" took over her attention. It seemed like she used a ghost writer to fill an obligation to her publisher. Maybe she's spread herself too thin with her TV program and her new "Virals" series. I hope she hasn't burned herself out. The plot was too simple. The plot was thin. Characters mostly two-dimensional, and more like caricatures. Tempe is increasingly characterized by eye-rolls and smart-mouth comments along her usual lines and what seem to be manufactured rather than real emotions. For someone who prides herself on her knowledge of the English language, Tempe took a few steps backward. I have one more of Reichs’ books on my shelf. If it isn’t better, I will give up reading her.
