Another in the excellent Temperence Brennan series, compelling reading and for me much better than the Patricia Cornwell novels of a similar genre. In this novel Temp is in Guatemala investigating corpses from 1982 when soldiers ravaged a village.
There are no records for the dead, it is Temp's task to help to identify them. When she is packing up for the day she takes a phone call and hears shots from the other end of the line and a woman's screams. Then there is just silence.
Temp is then requested by the police to help on another investigation too where four young women have vanished from Guatemala City over the past couple of months. Some remains are discovered in a septic tank.
The plot soon explodes and the cases all come together. Detective Andrew Ryan and Special Crimes Investigator Bartolome Galiano are also helping to solve the case too.
Not one of my favourite ones, so 8/10.
