------------------Bones to ashes (2007) As a child, she was told to forget about the missing girl. But some memories don't die.... The discovery of a skeleton in Acadia, Canada, reawakens a traumatic episode for forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan: Could the young girl's remains be those of Evangeline Landry, Tempe's friend who disappeared when Tempe was twelve? Exotic, free-spirited, and slightly older. Evangeline enlivened Tempe's summer beach visits . . . then vanished amid whispers that she was "dangerous." Now, faced with bones scarred with inexplicable lesions, Tempe is consumed with solving a decades-old mystery while her lover, detective Andrew Ryan, urgently needs her attention on a wave of teenage abductions and murders. With both Ryan and her ex-husband making surprising future plans, Tempe may soon find that her world has painfully and irrevocably changed once again.
