Temperance Brennan's plans for a holiday with Andrew Ryan are destroyed when she is asked to travel to Washington DC to investigate a fire at a house at Foggy Bottom. It is believed that there may have been four people in the house at the time of the fire but then a fifth body is discovered in the sub-basement. Investigations suggest that the fifth body may have been in the house since the 1940s and Tempe is determined to discover more about this mystery as well as uncovering the identity of the recent deaths.
Then there is another fire in the neighbourhood. Both houses were owned by the same company. When the son of one of the company owners is also shot there is obviously a vendetta against the company and Tempe naturally wants to help in the investigation.
Fire and Bones by Kathy Reichs, the twenty-third novel in the Temperance Brennan series, is a fast paced crime novel that does not disappoint.
