But one day, as Tempe is relaxing at home alongside her aimless, moody great-niece Ruthie, she's diverted by a disturbing call. Now, it seems, the perp is upping the ante. This find is larger. Could the remains be human?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tempe visits the scene and discovers that the victim is a dog. Someone's pet. As someone who has always found animal cruelty deeply abhorrent, she vows to help apprehend the person responsible for the killings. With her layered knowledge of animal behaviour, Ruthie becomes a valuable ally in the hunt for answers, as does semi-retired homicide detective Erskine 'Skinny' Slidell, who is equally outraged and committed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Needing a better understanding of possible motives, Tempe and Skinny seek input from a forensic psychologist, who has no definitive answer but offers several possibilities. The escalating pattern of aggression suggests even more macabre discoveries - and that the perp's focus may soon shift to humans.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e And then it happens. A woman is found disfigured and posed in a manner that mimics the earlier killings. As Tempe and Slidell follow the horrifying clues to a shocking conclusion, they find themselves force to confront an increasingly terrifying question. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat is pure evil?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePRAISE FOR KATHY REICHS:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'This page-turning series never lets the reader down' \u003cb\u003eHARLAN COBEN \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'One of my favourite writers' \u003cb\u003eKARIN SLAUGHTER \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e 'Kathy Reichs and Tempe Brennan have thrilled readers with pacey, mazey tales . . .
