A conspiracy of bones : a Temperance Brennan novel / Kathy Reichs. 1st ed. New York : Scribner, 2020. 342 p. ; 24 cm. Temperence Brennan mysteries ; ; 19 Sequel to "Speaking in bones.". Temperence Brennan has recently discovered that she has a cerebral aneurysm. The diagnosis, not to mention the surgery to ensure the aneurysm won't rupture and kill her, has taken its toll on her emotionally and professionally. When Brennan receives (from an unknown sender) pictures of a dead man, she assumes she will be called in to consult on the case when the man's body turns up. But her new boss, an ambitious and hateful woman, whose competence in her field - in Brennan's mind, is very much open to question - shuts her out. Faithful readers won't be surprised to hear that Brennan teams up with her longtime investigative partner, Detective "Skinny" Slidell, to find out who the dead man is and who sent Tempe the photos. Mysteries pile up, answers lead to further questions, and soon Brennan has uncovered a nasty conspiracy. Or has she? 20200323. Brennan, Temperance (Fictional character) Fiction.
