Death Du Jour

From Ancient Bones to a Chilling Modern Crime

In Death Du Jour, forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan returns in a gripping investigation that spans centuries and crosses borders. When Tempe is called to examine the remains of a long-dead nun being considered for sainthood, the task seems routine—until it leads her straight into a far more chilling and contemporary mystery.

Cold Clues, Hot Pursuit

A house fire in Montreal reveals the bodies of a young family—victims not of accident, but of murder. As Tempe digs deeper, she uncovers a web of cult activity, missing persons, and ritualistic deaths that lead from the icy streets of Canada to the swamps of North Carolina. With danger closing in and connections growing darker, she must use all her expertise to uncover a truth more disturbing than she ever imagined.

Smart, Suspenseful, and Bone-Deep

Kathy Reichs blends cutting-edge science with pulse-pounding suspense in this second installment of the Temperance Brennan series. Death Du Jour is a masterfully written thriller that peels back the layers of both bone and human motive, revealing that sometimes, the past is the deadliest clue of all.
