In this never-before-published story, Tempe recalls the case that lured her from a promising career in academia into the grim but addictive world of criminal investigation. (It all began with a visit from a pair of detectives—and a John Doe recovered from an arson scene in a trailer.) The collection is rounded out with three more stories that take Tempe from the low country of the Florida Everglades, where she makes a grisly discovery in the stomach of an eighteen-foot Burmese python, to the heights of Mount Everest, where a frozen corpse is unearthed. No matter where she goes, Tempe’s cases make for the most gripping reading.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePraise for Kathy Reichs and the Temperance Brennan series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e “Nobody does forensics thrillers like Kathy Reichs.
