Book Description:
Dr. Bill Brockton, the founder of the world-famous Body Farm, is hard at work on a troubling new case. A young man's battered body has been found in nearby Chattanooga, and it's up to the talented Dr. Brockton to assemble the pieces of the forensic puzzle. Brockton is brought into the case by the rising star of the state's medical examiners, Jess Carter.
Just as they're on the verge of breaking the case open, events take a terrifying turn. Brockton has re-created the gruesome Chattanooga death scene at the Body Farm, but a killer places another corpse at the site, putting Brockton's career and even his life in jeopardy. Soon Brockton is accused of the horrific new crime, and the once-beloved professor becomes an outcast. Brockton must use all of his forensic skills to prove his own innocence...before he ends up behind bars with some of the very killers he's helped to convict.
Flesh and Bone is another roller-coaster ride into the world of forensic anthropology, raising powerful questions about the nature of justice, loyalty, honor, and evil. This astonishing novel confirms Jefferson Bass as one of our most talented authors of suspense.

Flesh and Bone is a must-read for anyone who has ever enjoyed the CSI shows or Bones (or the books by Kathy Reichs that inspired it). It's like that, only more realistic. For only the second book from the "Jefferson Bass" writing team, this book had a number of surprising twists that kept me reading it long into the night. There is enough misdirection added that the conclusion of the story is not at all clear until well into the book.
Jennifer W. (This was another good read in the series, although I didn't like it as well as I did CARVED IN BONE. I'm still enjoying the character of Dr. Bill Brockton, based on the author, but this second installment didn't hold my interest as thoroughly as the first title did.
That being said, though, there is a major shake-up in the plot with this one, and overall it's a good read. It just took me quite a lot longer to get through it than I had expected.
We'll see how the third one goes!
I thought this would be like Cornwell's "Body Farm" but it wasn't. Also, I was surprised at how the plot developed about half-way through.
