Brennan un enregistrement d'une jeune fille inconnue, retenue prisonnière et terrorisée. Strike est convaincu qu'il s'agit de Cora Teague, disparue il y a trois ans, alors âgée de 18 ans. Strike est également certain que les restes de l'adolescente accumulent la poussière dans le laboratoire de Temperance Brennan. Tempe hésite à collaborer avec Strike. Mais quand la preuve gagne en substance, Brennan se rend sur les lieux où l'enregistrement terrifiant - et peut-être les ossements de Cora Teague - ont été découverts. Son excursion médico-légale soulève d'autres indices, plus inquiétants encore, laissant entrevoir d'autres morts. Alors que des légendes locales courent au sujet d'étranges phénomènes nocturnes et de cultes sataniques sinistres, c'est une secte religieuse zélée et secrète qui trouble Brennan alors qu'elle tente d'élucider cette énigme. Mais il n'y a rien qui peut distraire Tempe dans sa quête de vérité afin d'identifier le tueur. 2016. Titre uniforme: Speaking in bones.Par Kathy Reichs, Viviane Mikhalkov. 2011
