Monday Mourning

Dr. Temperance Brennan, a brilliant forensic anthropologist, is plunged into a chilling cold case when the skeletal remains of three young women are unearthed in the basement of a Montreal pizza parlor. Initially, a skeptical homicide detective dismisses the discovery, convinced the bodies are centuries old. However, Tempe's keen scientific insight and the unexpected presence of antique buttons near the bones prompt a deeper investigation. Despite the clean, well-preserved state of the remains offering few immediate clues, Carbon 14 dating unequivocally confirms Tempe's hunch: these are recent deaths. With her professional and personal relationship with Detective Andrew Ryan at a delicate turning point, Tempe faces both bureaucratic resistance and personal challenges. As the timeline dramatically shifts, Tempe's meticulous forensic work becomes critical in a desperate race against time to identify the victims and unmask a brutal killer whose grisly handiwork has now tragically come to light.
