Two Nights

Zusatztext Advance praise for Two Nights “Reichs’ newest heroine, the polar opposite of cerebral Temperance Brennan, is fueled by a well-nigh uncontrollable rage in her thrilling, violent search for a missing girl so much like herself.” — Kirkus Reviews “Brennan fans should appreciate Sunday [Night] . . . the star of this fast-paced series launch from bestseller Reichs . . . a self-sufficient, tough-talking, scarred heroine. [The finale] seems designed for the big screen.” — Publishers Weekly “The writing is crisp and vivid. . . . The story is cleverly plotted. . . . Reichs’ legion of fans should be encouraged to check out this one.” — Booklist Praise for Kathy Reichs “I love Kathy Reichs—always scary, always suspenseful, and I always learn something.” —Lee Child “Kathy Reichs continues to be one of the most distinctive and talented writers in the genre. Her legion of readers worldwide will agree with me when I declare that the more books she writes, the more enthusiastic fans she’ll garner.” —Sandra Brown “Nobody does forensics thrillers like Kathy Reichs. She’s the real deal.” —David Baldacci “Kathy Reichs writes smart—no, make that brilliant—mysteries.” —James Patterson “Reichs, a forensic anthropologist, makes her crime novels intriguingly realistic.” —Entertainment Weekly Informationen zum Autor Kathy Reichs is the author of eighteen New York Times bestselling novels and the co-author, with her son, Brendan Reichs, of six novels for young adults. Like the protagonist of her Temperance Brennan series, Reichs is a forensic anthropologist—one of fewer than one hundred ever certified by the American Board of Forensic Anthropology. A professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, she is a former vice president of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and serves on the National Police Services Advisory Council in Canada. Reichs’s own life, as much as her novels, is the basis for the TV show Bones, one of the longest-running series in the history of the Fox network.

She has spent years running from her past, and building a life in which she needs no one and feels nothing. But a girl has gone missing, lost in the chaos of a bomb explosion, and the family needs Sunnie's help. Is the girl dead? Did someone take her? If she is out there, why doesn't she want to be found? Leseprobe Chapter 1 My right-­hand neighbor thinks I’m crazy, so she brings me cheese. I heard the one-­two crunch of her boots on the path. A pause, then the oyster shells crunched again. I lifted a corner of the towel covering my kitchen window. She was already five yards off, a shadow-­laced smudge among the live oaks. Six years, and I still didn’t know her name. Didn’t want to. Had no desire to exchange recipes or comments on the tides. I cracked the door, snagged the plastic-­wrapped package, and shoved it into the fridge. Truth is, I don’t mind the cheese. What I hate are the sharp little eyes plumbing my soul. That and the pity. And the goats. When the wind is right, the bleating bullies into my dreams and I’m back in Helmand with the blood and the dust. Or maybe I’m reading the old gal wrong. Maybe the cheese is a bribe so I don’t murder Billie or Nanny. My left-­hand neighbor hanged himself from the end of his pier. His dog curled ...
