SynopsisA woman has vanished while digging a dinosaur bone bed in the remote wilderness of Canada. Somehow, the only evidence has made its way to the inbox of Chief Medical Examiner Kay Scarpetta, over two thousand miles away in Boston. She has no idea why. But as events unfold with alarming speed, Scarpetta begins to suspect that the paleontologist's disappearance is connected to a series of crimes much closer to home: a gruesome murder, inexplicable tortures, and trace evidence from the last living creatures of the dinosaur age. When she turns to those around her, Scarpetta finds that the danger and suspicion have penetrated even her closest circles. Her niece Lucy speaks in riddles. Her lead investigator, Pete Marino, and FBI forensic psychologist and husband, Benton Wesley, have secrets of their own. Feeling alone and betrayed, Scarpetta is tempted by someone from her past as she tracks a killer both cunning and cruel. This is Kay Scarpetta as you have never seen her before. The Bone Bed  is a must read for any fan of this series, or an ideal starting point for new readers., A woman has vanished while digging a dinosaur bone bed in the remote wilderness of Canada.

  • Can't put it down.

    Patricia Cornwell never disappoints. Her plot lines lead you into the dark places of human psyche. Her main character is believable because she exhibits insecurities that all of us experience at some point in our lives, even though she is so intelligent. Good read all around.
