What you need to know before your trail

A female corpse is discovered  dismembered and stashed in rubbish bags, Dr Temperance Brennan detects an alarming pattern so she plunges into a harrowing search for a killer. But her investigation is about to place those closest to her – her best friend and her own daughter – in mortal danger.

Travel Guide

Although the forensic landscape is the real backdrop to this novel, Quebec is put under the forensic pathologist’s lamp too – as the Dr herself ponders about the fair city –

“I had a trip to Quebec City in mind, but my plans were vague, I thought of visiting the Plains of Abraham, eating mussels and crepes, and buying from street vendors. Escape in tourism.”

Further down the river is Montreal where Tempe works and the language difficulties do not go ‘undetected’ (sorry)

“I had arrived in Montreal thinking myself fluent in French, but I hadn’t counted on le français québécois I was learning, but slowly.”
