The SPIEGEL bestseller now available in paperback. The death of a young woman, whose body is found in a roadside ditch, gives forensic expert Tempe Brennan sleepless nights. The teenager may have entered the country without any identification. And then there’s the case of a smuggler who is trafficking curious mummified artifacts into the USA. Is there a connection between the dead girl and the lucrative illegal trade? One thing the death investigator can rely on: bones cannot be silenced.
