But one day, as Tempe is relaxing at home alongside her aimless, moody great-niece Tory, she’s diverted by a disturbing call. Now, it seems, the perp is upping the ante. This find is larger. Could the remains be human?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTempe visits the scene and discovers that the victim is a dog. Someone’s pet. As someone who has always found animal cruelty deeply abhorrent, she vows to help apprehend the person responsible for the killings. With her layered knowledge of animal behaviour, Tory becomes a valuable ally in the hunt for answers, as does semi-retired homicide detective Erskine ‘Skinny’ Slidell, who is equally outraged and committed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeeding a better understanding of possible motives, Tempe and Skinny seek input from a forensic psychologist, who has no definitive answer but offers several possibilities. The escalating pattern of aggression suggests even more macabre discoveries – and that the perp’s focus may soon shift to humans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd then it happens. A woman is found disfigured and posed in a manner that mimics the earlier killings. As Tempe and Slidell follow the horrifying clues to a shocking conclusion, they find themselves force to confront an increasingly terrifying question. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is pure evil?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR KATHY REICHS:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘This page-turning series never lets the reader down’ \u003cb\u003eHARLAN COBEN \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘One of my favourite writers’ \u003cb\u003eKARIN SLAUGHTER \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘Kathy Reichs and Tempe Brennan have thrilled readers with pacey, mazey tales . . .
