Old Ground, New Ghosts, RMT140B

Four of crime fiction's most formidable minds.  Ruth Galloway, Enzo Macleod, Temperance Brennan and Scarpetta have little in common beyond this: they read what others refuse to see. A body in a Norfolk museum. Bones surfacing from a French lake after fourteen years. Mass graves in Guatemala holding secrets someone is still prepared to kill for. And Kay Scarpetta walking into a Georgia prison to find out who murdered the man she trusted most. These are the writers who put forensic science at the heart of crime fiction and never let the science outrun the story.

Elly Griffiths, A Room Full of Bones - Ruth Galloway, a medieval bishop's bones, and a Norfolk Halloween that turns quietly, irresistibly sinister.

Peter May, Cast Iron - A young woman drowned in a French lake in 1989 resurfaces, bones and all, fourteen years later.

Kathy Reichs, Grave Secrets - Temperance Brennan excavates the mass graves of Guatemala's disappeared and finds the present just as dangerous as the past.

Patricia Cornwell, Red Mist - Scarpetta walks into a Georgia women's prison seeking answers and finds a conspiracy that reaches far beyond its walls.
