Duty of duty brings forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan to Central America. The task she has to solve is to find and identify victims of a crime that happened many years ago. But suddenly the present invades the past - the corpse of a girl, one of several who have disappeared recently, is discovered in a godforsaken hotel. The case is aggravated by the fact that one of the missing is the daughter of the Canadian ambassador, and Temperance is forced to maneuver between two misfortunes - constant control from above and someone’s persistent attempts to prevent her from conducting the investigation. Katie Reich’s novels about Temperance Brennan have become classics of the detective genre, and fame they were consolidated by the world-famous television series "Bones", which also became a classic of the genre, but not in literature - in cinema. The book is being published in Russian for the first time!
