Books like Bones in her pocket by Kathy Reichs
When a fly‑covered canvas bag surfaces on North Carolina’s Lake Mountain, Tempe Brennan, a forensic anthropologist, is summoned to examine the contents. The bag contains bone fragments that, surprisingly, belong to a young adult woman rather than the assumed animal remains. Brennan’s expertise points to a possible link with Edith Blankenship, a graduate student whose body was found nearby and who has been reported missing. As Brennan pieces together the evidence, she questions whether Blankenship’s disappearance was accidental or the result of foul play.
