Death Du Jour is the second 'Temperance Brennan" novel by New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs. Kathy Reichs is the real-life character that the hit television show "Bones" is based on. The show has run for many seasons. These mysteries are gripping stories that are made far more interesting by the forensic procedures and details that Reichs includes in her novels. I have personally read the first three novels and they are great fun as well as being informative as to forensics. Kathy Reichs is forensic Anthropologist for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for the State of North Carolina as well as for the Province of Quebec in Canada. She divides her time between Charlotte and Montreal. She knows what she is writing about and that is what makes her books so special. his book is brand new and signed directly on the title page by the author. We are pleased to send pictures on request.
