The Bone Chamber

by Robin Burcell

Overview

“A very talented writer” (Lee Child), who is “smart, tough, and right on the mark” (Catherine Coulter), and “among the best writers of crime fiction” (Jan Burke), Anthony Award-winning author Robin Burcell broadens her canvas with The Bone Chamber—an electrifying thriller that recalls the best of James Rollins and Dan Brown as it races across the globe. An extraordinary adventure that combines C.S.I. forensic investigation with global conspiracy and ancient secrets of the Vatican and the Knights Templar, The Bone Chamber is a non-stop thrill ride that never slows down.

Editorial Reviews

Readers seeking a DaVinci Code-type thriller will dive right into this page-turner from Anthony Award winner Burcell, an FBI-trained forensic artist, much like his protagonist Sydney Fitzpatrick. Sydney, who previously confronted her father's murder in Face of a Killer, now works for the FBI in Quantico. When Special Agent Zachary Griffin asks Sydney to identify a murder victim without a face, she postpones her vacation to help, then continues the investigation on her own. Clues lead Sydney to the Vatican, where she rejoins Zachary to pursue the lost, legendary Templar treasure. Meanwhile, the two agents are being pursued themselves by two separate sets of killers. From Washington to Rome to Tunisia, the action is fast-paced and non-stop, compensating for characters that lack dimension.
