Book Description

Publication Date: 8 May 2008

A plane crashes high in the mountains of North Carolina.

But a severed foot is discovered a good distance from the main crash site...

Forensic antrhopologiest Dr Temperance Brennan is first on the scene. The task that confronts her is a sad and sickening one, and her investigation seems to be throwing up more questions than it answers.

But when Tempe makes a discovery that raises dangerous questions, her professional standing is threatened. Convinced that another corpse lies in the woods, Tempe pits herself against a conspiracy of silence, and uncovers a shocking tale of deceit and depravity...

Product Description

Amazon Review

Tempe Brennan, Kathy Reichs' forensic anthropologist heroine, often finds herself in physical jeopardy. In Fatal Voyage, her fourth outing, someone is trying to kill her and also to destroy her professional reputation with trumped-up charges of unethical behaviour.

Tempe is called in when a plane full of college athletes goes down in the remoter parts of the forests of North Carolina. She finds herself investigating a spare foot she rescued from coyotes, a foot which is significantly more decomposed than the crash victims and which has symptoms of gout, a disease most of the dead young people had no time to contract. There is a locked house and walled courtyard out in the woods that do not appear on any maps and it seems almost as if her simple knowledge of their being there has offended the powerful of the world.

As always, Kathy Reichs manages to combine a detailed knowledge of who the dead were and how they died with a profound sense of the sadness of things. This is a book that never lets us forget amid the dissections and tests for genetic markers that each human death is that of a tragic and irreplaceable human being. Tempe is one of the more attractive of the current crop of women detectives simply because she is flawed and vulnerable as well as smart, righteous and brave. Reichs never lets you forget that crime novels should acquaint us with good people as well as human evil. --Roz Kaveney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A holiday read or a stay at home read, but a must read ! 23 July 2001
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
Kathy Reich's forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan is back for her fouth time and is better than ever. Regular readers will enjoy the usual group of friends, family and cat. New readers will soon get to know these characters without feeling they have lost out by not having read Reichs previous novels.

The plot is initially centred on the site of a plane crash that Brennan is asked to attend, while salvaging remains of the crash site she is dragged into something a lot more sinister and complex than she or the reader could ever imagine. As well as trying to distance herself from the disaster for the sake of the families left behind by the tragedy, she also has to battle against a conspiracy to professionally discredit her.

Her old police ally and love interest Andrew Ryan is back on the scene as many sub plots weave around the main story line. Her cat Birdie also has a rival in the arrival of an orphaned dog, Boyd, a love/hate relationships develops.

The detailed descriptions of the technicalities used to establish the cause of the plane crash and other pathology references may be a little overwhelming, but as ever Tempe's story is gripping to the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tempe Brennan to the rescue...again! 9 Sep 2004
By R. Bradbury
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It is my mission to read all of Kathy Reichs novels- this was my third! I'm not big fan of blood and guts on tv but reading it doesn't seem so bad. In this one we find our heroine making her way back from a job adn called to another, an plane crash in the woods. Everything seems straight forward - how did the plane fall from the sky but an extra body part is found-the plot thickens! I couldn't put this book down - I was desperate to find out what was going to happen, then, it dawned on me that these novel all have the same pattern. In the last couple of chapters the guy catches up with Tempe Brennan, knocks her out, ties her up, she escapes, bad guy gets caught by police and the answer becomes clear to Tempe. There are no mega twists and nothing to take your breath away. But, all in all its a pretty good read and easy going.

5.0 out of 5 stars A RIVETING READING OF THE NEW REICHS 4 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Format:Audio Cassette
Versatile is the word for accomplished actress Katharine Borowitz who brings a wealth of film, TV, and stage experience to her book readings. She gives pitch perfect voice to the telling of this spellbinder.

Reprising Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist, Kathy Reichs presents her fourth riveting thriller. Once again her story is grounded in authenticity which only serves to validate this shocking tale.

When Tempe Brennan hears on her car radio that a plane with 88 passengers is down in the North Carolina mountains, she heads for the scene. That in itself is tragedy enough but missing body parts and cannibalism make Reichs's plot boil.

As Tempe sifts through the grisly debris she comes upon a foot that doesn't seem to belong to any of the dead. She pursues this conundrum only to find herself ousted from her job by a conniving politico who has much to hide. To save herself and her reputation Tempe has a major life endangering mystery to solve.
