蜘蛛之骨

     鑑定結果出來了……
　　死者是美國人，綽號蜘蛛，指紋比對的吻合指數是百分之百。
　　不過有個問題……這傢伙在一九六八年早就已經死過一次了！

　　這是一具極其怪異的屍體。
　　腫得難以辨識的男性身軀密封於透明塑膠袋，
　　軍靴、護士帽、直腸內視鏡以及粉紅色女性內衣，
　　全都在四處亂竄的蒼蠅群中展現令人不安的氣息。
　　究竟誰會用這麼變態的方式取人性命？
　　受害者不但慘遭溺斃，還被裝扮成這副猥褻的模樣！
　　更難解的是，他的指紋竟與罹難於越戰、綽號「蜘蛛」的人完全吻合！
　　怎麼可能，難不成這傢伙可以死兩次？！
　　尋骨高手唐普法醫受託鑑定塵封四十年的蜘蛛的遺骨，
　　未料其親生父親竟強烈拒絕提供檢體核對DNA，
　　此時又發現，當年現場竟有一具無名屍夾著蜘蛛的吊牌？！
　　謎團越滾越大，僅有的線索與各種危險的祕密逐漸扣合，
　　戰爭的殘酷、家族的離亂與傷痛，甚至虎視眈眈的黑幫勢力終於浮上檯面，
　　但是唐普卻還不知道，她已經身陷更黑暗的漩渦，想逃也逃不了……

Don’t miss this “whopper” (Publishers Weekly) of a thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs in her “cleverly plotted” (The New York Times) Temperance Brennan series, the inspiration for the hit FOX television series Bones.

John Lowery was declared dead in 1968—the victim of a Huey crash in Vietnam, his body buried long ago in North Carolina. Four decades later, Temperance Brennan is called to the scene of a drowning in Hemmingford, Quebec. The victim appears to have died while in the midst of a bizarre sexual practice. The corpse is later identified as John Lowery. But how could Lowery have died twice, and how did an American soldier end up in Canada? 

Tempe sets off for the answer, exhuming Lowery’s grave in North Carolina and taking the remains to Hawaii for reanalysis—to the headquarters of JPAC, the US military’s Joint POW/ MIA Accounting Command, which strives to recover Americans who have died in past conflicts. In Hawaii, Tempe is joined by her colleague and ex-lover Detective Andrew Ryan (how “ex” is he?) and by her daughter, who is recovering from her own tragic loss. Soon another set of remains is located, with Lowery’s dog tags tangled among them. Three bodies—all identified as Lowery. 

And then Tempe is contacted by Hadley Perry, Honolulu’s flamboyant medical examiner, who needs help identifying the remains of an adolescent boy found offshore. Was he the victim of a shark attack? Or something much more sinister?
