Deja Dead
by
Kathy Reichs

It's June in Montreal, and Tempe, who has left a shaky marriage back
home in North Carolina to take on the challenging assignment of director
of forensic anthropology for the province of Quebec, looks forward to a
relaxing weekend.

First, though, she must stop at a newly uncovered burial site in the
heart of the city. One look at the decomposed and decapitated corpse,
stored neatly in plastic bags, tells her she'll spend the weekend in the
crime lab. This is homicide of the worst kind. To begin to find some
answers, Tempe must first identify the victim. Who is this person with
reddish hair and a small bone structure?

Something about the crime scene is familiar to Tempe: the stashing of
the body parts, the meticulous dismemberment. One case in particular
comes to mind: the murder of sixteen-year-old Chantale Trottier, who'd
arrived in the morgue naked, less than a year before, and packaged in
plastic garbage bags.

Tempe's convinced there are parallels between the two cases, but it will
take more victims to persuade her police colleagues.

Knowing there is a killer on the streets who may soon find a new victim,
Tempe calls upon all her forensic skills, including bone, tooth, and
bite mark analysis

Told with lacerating authenticity and passion, Deja Dead is both
poignant and terrifying as it hurtles toward its page-turning conclusion
and instantly catapults its author into the top ranks of crime authors.
