Nothing Stays Hidden EXMT137B

Three of these novels rest on a particular conviction: that the dead, read carefully enough, will name their killer. Ruth Galloway finds the truth in bones. Kay Scarpetta reads a body thirty feet below the surface of the Elizabeth River. Temperance Brennan hears what skeletal remains say to those trained to listen. Elizabeth George approaches the problem differently. Lynley and Havers work outward from a community's careful silences, but the underlying impulse is the same. The surface version is never the whole story.

The Woman in Blue -  Women priests are being murdered in Walsingham. Ruth Galloway's quiet Norfolk life ends when an old friend draws her in.

Cause of Death - A diver found dead beneath Virginia's icy waters leads Scarpetta into a conspiracy darker than the river itself.

Speaking in Bones - A websleuth brings Temperance Brennan an unidentified tape recording. The voice belongs to a girl who vanished three years ago.

Something to Hide - An undercover detective is found in a coma. The investigation leads Lynley and Havers into a community with devastating secrets.
