Bones Are Forever tb-15

Page 28

by Kathy Reichs


  Now and then Tempe works with an FBI agent. Case in point, Flash and Bones. For years I traveled to the FBI Academy in Quantico, Virginia, to teach a course on the recovery of human remains. Special agent needed? Memory bytes are ready for the taking.

  In Spider Bones, Tempe goes to Hawaii to assist with the resolution of a case for the Joint POW-MIA Accounting Command’s central identification laboratory. I once consulted for the organization and frequented that facility. Military personnel? JPAC scientist? Right there in the bisque.

  Since 2004 I have served as a member of the National Police Services Advisory Council in Canada. The council provides strategic advice to the commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police on policing services such as the firearms program, the Canadian Police College, criminal intelligence, forensic and identification services, and technical operations.

  Through the NPS council I have gotten to know many members of the force. I have learned about the role of the RCMP in Canadian law enforcement.

  In Bones Are Forever, the action moves from Montreal to Edmonton to Yellowknife. The story involves murder. Clearly a Mountie was needed. No problemo. I ladled one out and seasoned him with a colorful past.

  Okra. Onions. Oregano. A few corpses. A diamond-mining town way up on the tundra. An RCMP sergeant.

  Mix thoroughly.

  Simmer.

  Bones Are Forever is served.

  MARIE-REINE MATTER

  KATHY REICHS, like her character Temperance Brennan, is a forensic anthropologist, formerly for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina and currently for the Laboratoire de sciences judiciaires et de médecine légale for the province of Quebec. A professor in the department of anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, she is one of only eighty-eight forensic anthropologists ever certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology, is past Vice President of both the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and the American Board of Forensic Anthropology, and serves on the National Police Services Advisory Council in Canada. Reichs’s first book, Déjà Dead, catapulted her to fame when it became a New York Times best-seller and won the 1997 Ellis Award for Best First Novel. Her latest Temperance Brennan novel, Flash and Bones, was a #1 New York Times bestseller. She is also the author, with Brendan Reichs, of Virals and Seizure. Her website is www.kathyreichs.com.
