The Bone Thief William and Morrow Dr. Brockton is a forensic anthropologist, who is in charge of the well-known Body Farm in Knoxville, Tennessee. The Body Farm is a 4 acre section attached to the University of Tennessee where donated cadavers are used to conduct experiments about how a body degenerates after death and many other things. Brockton is called to draw a DNA for a local attorney to help prove paternity. The sample is to be taken from a corpse that has been interred for 8 years. Upon exhumation Dr, Brockton learns that the cadaver has been desecrated, actually body sections are missing and the hunt is on. Before the story is told Brockton will discover a body parts for sale scheme, be asked to go against all he believes in and lose the trust of friends and colleagues he holds most dear. I have been following the story of Dr. Bill Brockton since Jefferson Bass released his first book. Actually, since Jefferson Bass is a duo of two men, Jon Jefferson and Dr. Bill Bass who is an actual founder and colleague at the true Body Farm. I know the area that most of the books take place and that makes the stories much more enjoyable. The fresh dose of reality in each book and the fact that some of the tales seem to come from today’s headlines are refreshing and interesting. Reviews of other titles in this series Carved
