#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs returns with a twisty unputdownable thriller featuring iconic forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. OF ALL THE CREATURES IN THE WORLD ONLY HUMANS HAVE THE CAPACITY FOR EVIL...  Small animals - a rat a rabbit a squirrel - have been turning up throughout Charlotte North Carolina mutilated and displayed in the same bizarre manner. But one day as Tempe is relaxing at home alongside her aimless moody great-niece Ruthie 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? Tempe 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 Ruthie becomes a valuable ally in the hunt for answers as does semi-retired homicide detective Erskine 'Skinny' Slidell who is equally outraged and committed. Needing 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. And 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.  What is pure evil?
