Deja Dead

Temperance Brennan Book #1

The first Temperance Brennan novel in the “cleverly plotted and expertly maintained series” () from the #1 internationally bestselling thriller writer Kathy Reichs.

Her life is devoted to justice – even for those she never knew.

In the year since Temperance Brennan left behind a shaky marriage in North Carolina, work has often preempted her weekend plans to explore Québec. When a female corpse is discovered meticulously dismembered and stashed in trash bags, Temperance detects an alarming pattern – and she plunges into a harrowing search for a killer. But her investigation is about to place those closest to her – her best friend and her own daughter – in mortal danger…

“A genius at building suspense” (, New York), Kathy Reichs’s Temperance Brennan books are both “accomplished and chilling” () and “ripe with intricate settings and memorable characters” ().
