Bones of the Lost

I enjoyed reading Bones of the Lost by Kathy Reichs which is about forensic anthropologist Tempe Brennan investigating the death of a young girl.  Before she can solve that mystery she is asked to go to Afghanistan to conduct an exhumation of two village men.  An American officer is charged with murdering them as they were unarmed.  A witness does not corroborate the officer's actions and Brennan has to work out the direction of the bullets etc. by examining the Afghanis' bones.  When she returns to America, she continues her investigation of the young girl's death.  She finally unwrangles the clues together with the police officer, Slidell, who is a great character.  4/5
