THE #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Producer of the FOX television hit Bones KATHY REICHS accelerates the suspense in NASCAR country, where Dr. Temperance Brennan reignites a stalled federal case with explosive forensic clues—to murder.
She lived for speed—and vanished without a trace. . . .
As 200,000 fans pour into town for Race Week, a body is found in a metal drum near Charlotte Motor Speedway—a discovery that has NASCAR crewman Wayne Gamble urgently seeking out Tempe at the Mecklenburg County ME’s office: twelve years ago, his sister, Cindi, then a high school senior and aspiring professional race car driver, disappeared along with her boyfriend, Cale Lovette, who was linked to a group of right-wing extremists. The FBI joined the investigation, but it was soon terminated. Is the body Cindi’s? Or Cale’s? Tests reveal that a toxic substance was in the drum with the body—just as another disappearance occurs. Who is orchestrating the mayhem behind the scenes at NASCAR—and what government secrets might have been buried more than a decade ago?

"This is #14 in the Tempe Brennan series. In this installment, Dr. Brennan is once again in her hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina and the story takes place against a NASCAR backdrop. Full disclosure: I'm not a fan of NASCAR but the bioterrorism and militia groups which were part of this fast paced, suspenseful story more than made up for it!!"

— Mary, 2/7/2014" This was ok. I read Kathy Reich's Bones stores when I just want a trashy novel. But this one didn't draw me in as much as her others have. I didn't hate it, like I hated "Cross Bones". It just wasn't as gripping as usual. "
— Deby, 2/6/2014" I have always enjoyed reading Kathy Reichs' books. So intriguing and keeps your attention. I love the way she writes. This is one of her better books. "
— Jamie, 2/6/2014" I have read every Tempe Brennen novel and I could not finish this one. It is very choppy and her tone is sarcastic throughout. Maybe I have outgrown the genre. "
— Sara, 2/4/2014" Not her best but entertaining regardless "
— Myke, 1/18/2014" NASCAR in Charlotte with a body in a barrel of asphalt close to the race track. Good read. "
— Kitty, 1/15/2014" Tempe does NASCAR, kool "
— Richard, 1/7/2014" I really like her books. They are quick and informative with that great touch of mystery. I'm not a NASCAR fan, but fun nonetheless. "
— Jenni, 1/7/2014" I enjoyed the book and learnt some about NASCAR racing. I thought it was a good nose in the book once the plots came together. I still prefer the books to the TV Series. "
— Cheryle, 1/6/2014" I always enjoy the balance of entertainment and science in Kathy Reichs's books. They are very well written and easy to read. I've loved every one. "
— Jaime, 12/29/2013" Soooo disappointed in this one!!! It felt like Kathy Reichs was just filling a quota with this one. Not sure I will pick up another in this series even though I have read them all. "
