I've been the lucky recipient of several Bruno Johnson ARC's and was very happy to hear that I'd also receive this novel. That the first part of it was based on David Putnam's early career and cases made it even more real for me. I wasn't sure what to expect of the "Bone Detective". I was thinking it was something along the lines of Jefferson Bass and the Body Farm but found out in the second part of the novel that "bone detective" meant more of a cold case assignment given as a sort of punishment. David Beckett manages to make the most of it, and the action doesn't stop. I'm not sure if we'll get more of this storyline, but I'll be looking forward to it.

I'm dropping this off for the residents of the center.
