Grave Secrets

Forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan is thrust into a world of harrowing secrets when she is called to Guatemala to investigate a mass grave. Twenty-three victims, known as "the disappeared," were brutally murdered two decades prior and buried in a remote well in the village of Chupan Ya. Leading a meticulous excavation, Tempe meticulously pieces together the grim narrative of their past. However, the ghosts of the past refuse to stay buried. A new wave of terror erupts when Tempe receives a chilling satellite call, broadcasting the horrifying sounds of a fatal attack on two of her colleagues. Teaming up with the astute Special Crimes Investigator Bartolome Galiano and her long-time confidant, Montreal detective Andrew Ryan, Tempe soon finds herself entangled in a fresh, equally disturbing mystery: the inexplicable disappearance of four privileged young women from Guatemala City. Navigating a dangerous landscape where political corruption, immense wealth, insatiable greed, and advanced science intersect, Tempe must unearth the truth before she too becomes another victim in a land where secrets are deadly.
