This is the latest book in the Body Farm novels by Dr. Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson who write under the pen name Jefferson Bass. Dr. Bass is the creator of the University of Tennessee's Body Farm that is mentioned in the Patricia Cornwell books.
Dr. Bill Brockton, creator of the body farm at U of Tennessee is leading a training session for law enforcement when one of the participants gets some disturbing news. Her sister has committed suicide, but Angie St. Claire, forensic analyst in Florida is sure it's murder. Dr. Brockton heads down to Florida to help out, and quickly finds himself embroiled in a decades old murder case. A reform school that burned down years ago proves to be the site of young boys' bodies, who may have met a early death at the hands of the people who were supposed to keep them safe. Dr. Brockton finds himself trying to not only solve this crime but also stay alive long enough to do so.
This is one of my favorite series, it's similar to Patricia Cornwell, but her books have gotten odd over the years, so I don't enjoy them as much. It's also a lot like Kathy Reichs "Bones" series, with some CSI thrown in. Great plots, interesting characters, and well-written, what more can you ask for in a series.
