Кэти Райх3.7 Долг службы приводит судебного антрополога Темперанс Бреннан в Центральную Америку. Задача, которую ей предстоит решить, — поиск и опознание жертв преступления многолетней давности. Но неожиданно в прошлое вторгается настоящее — в забытом богом отеле обнаружен труп девушки, одной из нескольких пропавших за последнее время. Дело отягощается тем, что одна из пропавших без вести — дочка посла Канады, и Темперанс вынуждена лавировать между двумя напастями — постоянным контролем сверху и чьими-то настойчивыми попытками помешать ей вести расследование.
Романы Кэти Райх о Темперанс Бреннан стали классикой детективного жанра, и славу их закрепил всемирно известный телесериал «Кости», также ставший классикой жанра, но уже не в литературе — в кино.

Барбара Фрадкин0.0 When an old man dies a seemingly natural death in a parking lot, only Inspector Michael Green finds it suspicious. Something about the closed case has caught his eye - why did the victim have a mysterious gash on his head, inflicted around the time of his death? Talking to the man’s family only increases Green’s curiosity. They are obviously hiding something about the old man, who lived in isolation as though avoiding painful memories. A search of his house turns up an old tool box with a hidden compartment containing a German ID card from World War II. Was the victim a Jewish camp survivor or a Nazi soldier trying to escape imprisonment? Or had he been a Polish collaborator who had sold his own people into slavery and death? Could someone have tracked him down for revenge? Even Green, with all his experience, could never have imagined the truth. The sequel to Do or Die is not only a tightly plotted police mystery, but a compelling tale of unhealed emotional wounds from a time of unspeakable atrocity.

Джеймс В. Николь0.0 A terrified three-year-old boy is found clinging to a wire fence at the side of a country road. His mother had whispered to him to never let go, and then she vanished.

Кевин Дж. Портер0.0 A murder, unlike no other, has been committed by a serial killer who believes Hannibal Lecter would envy his techniques. In tracking down the killer, Kevin Porter takes his readers on a breathless trail in and around Hollywood North (Vancouver, Canada), including the set locations of The X-Files. Because of its style, Come Clean allows readers to be a jump ahead of Porter, thus being privy to his foibles and flaws of character. As the unrelenting tension builds, Porter shares intimacies about his ten-year inter-generational relationship with a young gay man, Brent Barnes. Poignant, but often hilarious, these "personal" insights are a welcome relief from the heart-thumping suspense that builds right up to the final moments of Come Clean.
