Synopses

A Conspiracy of Bones

A series of text messages arrives, each containing a new image of a corpse missing its face and hands. Dr Temperance Brennan must identify the dead man and understand why the images were sent to her, despite being removed from the team. Working alone, she uncovers a link to a missing child case from a decade earlier as the investigation grows darker.

The Bone Code

A hurricane in the Carolinas exposes two bodies with striking similarities to a cold case in Quebec that has troubled Brennan for fifteen years. Meanwhile, a rare flesh-eating bacterium is discovered in Charleston, triggering panic and genetic testing. Supported by her long-time partner Andrew Ryan, Brennan follows a dangerous trail that connects the victims across both cases.

Cold, Cold Bones

Dr Temperance Brennan finds a box on her porch containing a fresh human eyeball etched with GPS coordinates. The location leads to a disturbing discovery at a Benedictine monastery, followed by the finding of a mummified corpse in a state park. With no clear pattern beyond killings that echo incidents from her earlier life, Brennan realises she is being targeted and must uncover the reason before the next strike.
