Forensic anthropologist  Kathy Reichs  is known for her crime novels chronicling the adventures of Temperance “Bones” Brennan, a forensic anthropologist at the fictional Jeffersonian Institute (sound familiar?). Reichs was also producer of the popular TV series “Bones,” which centered on the character.
Her latest thriller,  Fire and Bones , finds Brennan at the center of a Washington, D.C., arson investigation that spawns deepening levels of mystery and, ultimately, violence. Teaming with a television journalist, she learns that in the 1930s and ’40s the arson site was the hangout of a group of bootleggers and racketeers known as the Foggy Bottom Gang. Things get even hotter when the son of a gang member is killed in an affluent part of town and a second gang-linked location burns to the ground, adding another victim. Coincidence? Targeted attacks? Every path forward seems to bring a lethal threat to Brennan.
Join Reichs as she discusses the inspiration behind the novel and how she staged the thriller in the Smithsonian’s­—or the Jeffersonian’s­­­­—backyard.
Copies of  Fire and Bones  (Simon & Schuster) are available for purchase and signing.
