A reclusive old man has been brutally slain at the La Brea Tar Pits.

And everyone involved-from an alluring scientist with a dark secret to a treacherous CIA officer with his own agenda—is suspect.

With more at stake than just a pile of bones, Kate has to gather together the pieces of a timeless puzzle, and make sure they all fit—before a remorseless killer decides to make her a part of history....

Better than some in this series. I loved the
court case which is most of the book. As a police procedural it weaves a fine mystery. Little bits of forensics pop up :-)

Court procedural par excellence

Lots of twists and turns and moral quandaries and fascinating side plots. Highly recommended series!
