A corpse found asphalted in a barrel in a dump. There are two young people who have been missing for twelve years. And the FBI seems particularly interested in all these dead people. All the loose threads left from the first investigation are investigated by Temperance Brennan, with all elements connected to NASCAR racing. I hadn’t read Kathy Reich in a long time and rediscovered this author that I really like. The plot is intelligent, the forensic details are top-notch and the writing full of witty humour.
“- Tempe, I take back every mean thought I ever had about you.”
With that, Summer teetered off into the night.
Falling asleep, I wondered: Can one take back thoughts? Take them back from whom? To what end?”
