"Down time" is not a phase in Tempe Brennan's vocabulary. A sstring of distrubing cases has put her vacation plans on hold; instead, she heads to the lab to analyze charred remins from a suspicious fire, and a mysterious black residue from a small plane crash. But most troubling of all are the bones...Tempe's daughter's new boyfriend invites them to a picnic - a pig pickin' - in the North Carolina countryside, where a cache of human bones turns up. But are they animal or human? X-rays and DNA may link the crimes, but they can't reveal who is closing in on Tempe and her daughter - and how far they will go to keep her from uncovering the truth."
