Fatal Voyage

Cover Story

A horrifying plane crash in the mountains of North Carolina brings forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan to a scene of carnage and confusion. As she sifts through the wreckage for clues, Brennan discovers a severed foot far from the crash site—an anomaly that leads her into a tangled investigation involving secretive townsfolk, government agents, and a shadowy local cult.

As events spiral out of control, Brennan must race against time to untangle a web of lies and secrets before she becomes the next victim. With her trademark mix of scientific insight and relentless determination, she pieces together the truth hidden beneath layers of misdirection and danger.

We Say

Fatal Voyage is another gripping installment in Kathy Reichs’ acclaimed series featuring Dr. Temperance Brennan. The novel’s opening is one of Reichs’ strongest, plunging the reader straight into the chaos of a disaster scene and the intricacies of forensic work.

The plot is satisfyingly complex, with plenty of twists, red herrings, and a strong sense of atmosphere in the rural North Carolina setting. Reichs’ attention to scientific detail never detracts from the pace, and the interplay between Brennan and the supporting cast adds depth and humor.

Fans of forensic mysteries and suspense will not be disappointed. Fatal Voyage is smart, fast-paced, and delivers both thrills and brains.
