Amazon Editorial Review:
The key to a modern murder lies in the sands of history.
Examining a badly decomposed corpse is de rigueur for forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. But puzzling damage on the body of a shooting victim, an Orthodox Jewish man, suggests this is no ordinary Montreal murder. When a stranger slips Tempe a photograph of a skeleton unearthed at an archaeological site, Tempe uncovers chilling ties between the dead man and secrets long buried in the dust of Israel. Traveling there with Detective Andrew Ryan, Tempe plunges into an international mystery as old as Jesus, and centered on the controversial discovery of Christ's tomb. Has a mastermind lured her into an elaborate hoax? If not, Tempe may be on the brink of rewriting two thousand years of history -- if she can survive the foes dead set on burying her.

Dear dg7500/Joy,
What can I say - you totally surprised me! Thank you !! I have not read any of Kathy Reichs books yet but wanted to and now I have three to read. I have several ahead of these to read but now I will just have to read faster! LOL!! I pulled all the books that other BCers have sent me from my book shelves as I registered all of my books and made a goal to read them first before I can read any of my books. The goal is a round-about way of picking the next book for me to read - there are so many I want to read!
And I didn't even post a holiday wish list on the thread, although it is on my profile page. I haven't even looked at that thread as I am still working from last years thread. See how far behind I am?
Anyway I just wanted to 'Thank You' for thinking of me. You are a sweetheart!
