Its never easy working fire scenes.

Called to Washington, D.C. to examine the victims of a mysterious arson attack, Tempe quickly finds her misgivings justified. The fire site is in Foggy Bottom, a neighbourhood with a colourful history, and as the pieces start falling into place, the propertys ownership becomes more and more suspicious.

Sensing a good story, telejournalist Ivy Doyle approaches Tempe and the women become unlikely allies.

Delving into the past, they learn that back in the thirties and forties the home was the hangout of a group of bootleggers and racketeers known as the Foggy Bottom Gang. Though interesting, this fact seems irrelevant until the son of one of the gang members is shot dead at his farm in Virginia.

When another property linked to the Foggy Bottom Gang burns to the ground, claiming one more victim, what might have been coincidence starts to look more like targeted attacks. As she and Ivy dig deeper, Tempes instincts point towards the obvious: somehow, her every move since coming to Washington has been anticipated in advance. And every path forward brings with it a lethal threat.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs returns with a twisty, unputdownable thriller featuring forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, who finds herself at the centre of a Washington, D.C., arson investigation that spawns deepening levels of mystery and, ultimately, violence.
