Beschreibung des Verlags
Long ago, forensic anthropologist Diane Fallon served in South America at the World Accord International. Years later, haunted by the massacres a continent away, she has been trying hard to put the past behind her. Until now...
Working late at her museum, Diane hears a terrified cry that leads her to an injured man - and recognises him as a fellow WAI staffer from her days in South America. Clutching a child's femur in his hands, he whispers, 'It was one of us...' and dies.
Now Diane is faced with some deadly questions - why was her former colleague trying to visit her? Why did he carry a human bone? Who did he mean by 'us', and just who attacked him? More importantly, is Diane the next on the list?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Near the outset of Connor's exciting ninth thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Diane Fallon (after The Night Killer), Diane discovers Simone Brooks, a colleague from her days investigating human rights abuses in South America, lying injured on the floor of the crime lab at Georgia's River Trail Museum of Natural History. Simone mutters something suggesting that a person they trusted in South America is up to no good before losing consciousness. Soon, Diane finds herself framed for drug smuggling and the murders of four men in Brazil. Meanwhile, Diane's eight-year-old adopted daughter, Ariel, and a kidnapped anthropologist mistaken for Diane, Lindsay Chamberlain, battle thugs and conspiracies in the Amazon rainforest. Crisp, intelligent prose helps propel the many hairpin plot twists. The three smart, likable female leads Diane, Ariel, and Lindsay, making a guest appearance from another Connor series don't wait around for men to save them.
