A collection of pulse-pounding tales featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennanâincluding the untold story of her first case! The #1 New York Times bestselling author behind the hit Fox series Bones, Kathy Reichs is renowned for chilling suspense and fascinating forensic detail. The Bone Collection presents her trademark artistry in this collection of thrilling short fiction.  In First Bones, a prequel to Reichsâs first novel, Déjà  Dead, she at last reveals the tale of how Tempe became a forensic anthropologist. In this never-before-published story, Tempe recalls the case that lured her from a promising career in academia into the grim but addictive world of criminal investigation. (It all began with a visit from a pair of detectivesâand a John Doe recovered from an arson scene in a trailer.) The collection is rounded out with three more stories that take Tempe from the low country of the Florida Everglades, where she makes a grisly discovery in the stomach of an eighteen-foot Burmese python, to the heights of Mount Everest, where a frozen corpse is unearthed. No matter where she goes, Tempeâs cases make for the most gripping reading.  Praise for Kathy Reichs and the Temperance Brennan series  âNobody does forensics thrillers like Kathy Reichs. Sheâs the real deal.ââDavid Baldacci  âKathy Reichs writes smartâno, make that brilliantâmysteries that are as realistic as nonfiction and as fast-paced as the best thrillers about Jack Reacher or Alex Cross.ââJames Patterson  âEvery minute in the morgue with Tempe is golden.ââThe New York Times Book Review
