Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The lack of a strong central plot undercuts the third forensic thriller by bestseller Bass, the team of Dr. Bill Bass, founder of Tennessee's world-renowned Body Farm, and journalist Jon Jefferson (after 2007's Flesh and Bone). Two cases occupy Dr. Bass's fictional alter ego, Dr. Bill Brockton—the death of Mary Latham, a 47-year-old Knoxville native, whose charred remains were found in a burned-out car, and a disreputable Georgia crematorium that simply dumped bodies on its grounds. These probes soon take a backseat to a cat-and-mouse game with the doctor's arch nemesis, Garland Hamilton, who tried to frame him for murder in Flesh and Bone. When Hamilton escapes from incarceration before going to trial, Brockton must keep looking over his shoulder. While a smattering of Bass's trademark authentic forensic detail lifts this main narrative thread, a more focused look at a single case might have made the novel a better read. (Feb.)

From AudioFile
Tom McKeon's slow, deep voice is perfect for the character of Dr. Bill Brockton, a forensic anthropologist who runs a body farm in Cooke County, Tennessee. Brockton is known for his thoughtful scientific approach and depth of experience--that is, until he takes the radical step of burning a corpse to better understand the murder of a woman whose body shows evidence of being charred. McKeon depicts Brockton's anger at being caught and confronted and also portrays his feelings when he learns that the murderer of his former colleague and love interest, Jess Carter, has escaped from prison. As the plot takes listeners through Brockton's investigations and personal struggles, McKeon's voice aptly portrays his shifting moods.
