Break No bones - Kathy Reichs

To some, the dead are a commodity. For Tempe Brennan, they hold they key to cracking a horrific crime ring. Among the ancient remains in a Native American burial ground, Tempe discovers a fresh skeleton--and what began as an ordinary teaching stint at an archeology field school in Charleston, South Carolina, fast becomes a heated investigation into an alarming patterns of homicides. The clues hidden in the bones lead to a street clinic where a monstrous discovery awaits, and Tempe--whose personal life is in upheaval, with two men competing for her--can't afford any distractions as she pieces together a shattering and terrifying puzzle.
