Bones are Forever

Extended Synopsis

Dr. Temperance Brennan, forensic anthropologist for the province of Quebec, is called to a deeply disturbing scene in a rundown apartment near Montreal: a newborn baby wedged inside a vanity cabinet. As she investigates, the horrifying discovery of two more mummified babies in the same room tests her professional resolve. Autopsies confirm the children died of unnatural causes, launching a desperate hunt for their mother—a young woman with a dark past and multiple aliases. The dangerous pursuit leads Tempe to Yellowknife, a desolate diamond-mining town on the edge of the Arctic Circle. In this hostile, freezing environment, her quest for truth uncovers more secrets, mounting body counts, and deadly risks as she works alone to seek justice for the infants.
