Nora è la tipica ragazza della porta accanto: molto carina, seria, studiosa. Patch è il classico cattivo ragazzo, strafottente, complicato e decisamente affascinante. Lei non sa perché lui la attragga tanto, in fondo non è il suo tipo. Lui invece sa benissimo perché inizia a corteggiarla, ed è un motivo oscuro e inquietante, legato a un passato talmente spaventoso da risultare semplicemente inconfessabile. Patch non ha dubbi su quello che è giusto o sbagliato quando si avvicina a Nora, eppure lo fa. Se vuole restare su questa Terra, dovrà rubarle la vita, letteralmente. Invece, sarà lei a farlo. Perché la passione può attraversare i secoli e trascendere la comprensione, perché l'amore può davvero cambiare le persone, rendendole invincibili e... immortali. Questa è la saga che ha contribuito a creare il genere letterario che non ha ancora smesso di affascinare le lettrici. Finalmente riuniti, ecco i quattro romanzi che hanno raccontato - in un crescendo di suspense e colpi di scena - l'irresistibile storia d'amore fra Nora e Patch, fra esseri umani e angeli caduti, fondendo thriller e romance...

Ero stata legata, le mani ai piedi, e abbandonata in un sotterraneo buio e freddo, circondata da resti umani. La dottoressa Tempe Brennan, esperta nel leggere le storie delle ossa, si ritrova prigioniera senza sapere il perché. Il panico la minaccia, ma non può arrendersi. Inizia a ricordare: una telefonata anonima l'aveva accusata di aver insabbiato la verità su un omicidio di un'ereditiera. Inoltre, il caso di tre donne anziane massacrate nei boschi di Montréal e gli errori inspiegabili che avrebbe commesso nell'analisi dei loro corpi, errori che la sua ambiziosa collega, l'anatomopatologa Marie-Andréa Briel, ha sempre corretto. In questa situazione disperata, Tempe ricompone il puzzle e si rende conto che è diventata il bersaglio. Solo lei può trovare il modo di liberarsi e scoprire chi l’ha voluta fuori dal gioco e perché. Con una narrazione intensa e avvincente, l'autrice offre un ritratto emozionante della sua eroina, Temperance Brennan, e costruisce un thriller che tiene il lettore con il fiato sospeso fino all'inaspettata rivelazione finale.

Un libro che risponde a domande quali: la soia è salutare? Bisogna evitare il glutine? Meglio il biologico? Bisogna mangiare il pesce? Come nutrire i bambini? Il piano è completo di lista della spesa, suggerimenti su come organizzare cucina e dispensa, come affrontare i pasti al ristorante o da amici, menu e 55 ricette. Prefazione di T. Colin Cambell.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author and producer of the Fox television hit, Bones, returns with a spectacular new Tempe Brennan novel. There are 206 bones in the human body. Forensic anthropologists know them intimately, can read in them stories of brief or long lives and use them to reconstruct every kind of violent end. 206 Bones opens with Tempe regaining consciousness and discovering that she is in some kind of very small, very dark, very cold enclosed space. She is bound, hands to feet. Who wants Tempe dead, or at least out of the way, and why? Tempe begins slowly to reconstruct... Tempe and Lieutenant Ryan had accompanied the recently discovered remains of a missing heiress from Montreal to the Chicago morgue. Suddenly, Tempe was accused of mishandling the autopsy -- and the case. Someone made an incriminating phone call. Within hours, the one man with information about the call was dead. Back in Montreal, the corpse of a second elderly woman was found in the woods, and then a third. Seamlessly weaving between Tempe's present-tense terror as she's held captive and her memory of the cases of these murdered women, Reichs conveys the incredible devastation that would occur if a forensic colleague sabotaged work in the lab. The chemistry between Tempe and Ryan intensifies as this complex, riveting tale unfolds. Reichs is writing at the top of her game.

Tempe is summoned to investigate an autoerotic death, only to discover that the deceased may have a connection to a helicopter crash in Vietnam from 40 years ago. This raises the question of who is truly buried in the soldier's grave.

Tempe determines that the deceased is a middle-aged white male - but who was he? Why was he buried in a clandestine grave? And what does an unusual vertical fracture of one of the vertebrae signify? While Tempe is trying to piece together the evidence, her personal life is thrown into turmoil. But before long, another body is discovered - and Tempe finds herself drawn deeper into a shocking investigation which will challenge her entire view of humanity.

A riveting novel featuring forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan—a story of infanticide, murder, and corruption, set in the high-stakes, high-danger world of diamond mining.
