Synopsis
Bone-chilling cases featuring the forensic anthropologist known as the Skeleton Detective, in the Edgar Award–winning series &“that never disappoints&” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). Edgar Award winner and former anthropologist Aaron Elkins &“thoroughly understands the art of the murder mystery&” (The Philadelphia Inquirer). In books five through seven from the long-running Skeleton Detective series, Elkins brings back his &“likable, down-to-earth cerebral sleuth,&” Professor Gideon Oliver (Chicago Tribune). Curses!: Mayan ruins in the Yucatán . . . a secret room in a tomb . . . age-old skeletons . . . Anthropologist Gideon Oliver is thrilled to join the archaeological excavation of Tlaloc—until ancient Mayan curses against desecrators of the site seem to materialize as modern murders. &“Another delightful semiserious romp through science and an exotic police culture.&” —Publishers Weekly Icy Clutches: On a trip to Glacier Bay, Alaska, with his forest ranger wife, Julie, the Skeleton Detective pursues a coldhearted killer who buries evidence in an avalanche. &“A literate, amiable story . . . a credible plot, a likable hero.&” —Kirkus Reviews Make No Bones: In accordance with the wishes of Albert Evan Jasper, after his demise in a car crash, his remains—a few charred bits of bone—are installed in an Oregon museum to create a fascinating macabre exhibit. A fitting end for the &“dean of American forensic anthropologists&”—until what is left of him disappears during the biannual meeting—a.k.a. the &“bone bash and weenie roast&”—of the Western Association of Forensic Anthropologists. Gideon has one question: Why? &“[A] seamlessly plotted corker of a mystery . . . Readers who like their humor dark and their gumshoes smart are sure to enjoy the &‘bone bash.&’&” —Publishers Weekly
