The forth installment of Jefferson Bass’s Body Farm series finds Dr. Bill Brockton investigating a scientist’s death due to radiation poisoning. The deceased elderly man used to work in Oak Ridge on the Manhattan Project. Was his death because of his work, was it suicide or was he murdered? Or could he have been a communist spy?!

Bones of Betrayal, unlike the other books before it, deals much more with WWII, nuclear weapons and espionage than the study of anthropology. It was a nice change of pace. Well researched and told in typical easy-going Jefferson Bass style, I came away with a much better understanding and appreciation of the greatest generation ever.

I also liked that the book ended with not one, but two cliffhangers: Did the killer really escape or freeze to death trying and will medical examiner, Dr. Garcia, survive the devastating radiation poisoning he was exposed to while performing the scientist’s autopsy?

I hope to answer these questions, and more, after reading the next novel, The Bone Thief.
