When innocent blood is spilled, forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan deciphers the shattering truth it holds in this exciting thriller from New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs. Nine-year-old Emily Anne Toussaint is fatally shot on a Montreal street. A North Carolina teenager disappears from her home, and parts of her skeleton are found hundreds of miles away. These shocking deaths propel Tempe Brennan from north to south, and deep into a shattering investigation inside the bizarre culture of outlaw motorcycle gangs—where one misstep could bring disaster for herself or someone she loves. From blood-splatter patterns and ground-penetrating radar to bone-sample analysis, Deadly Decisions triumphantly combines the authenticity of a world-class forensic professional with the narrative power of a brilliant crime-writing star.

I just finished reading the first three Temperance Brennan novels. As a Canadian it is fun for me to read a novel that includes Montreal. I have only ever made it as far as Quebec, however the “canadianisms” that the author includes I find to be fun little quirks for us Canucks to recognize and enjoy. With that aside I am truly enjoying the pace of these novels and the twists and turns that make the mystery enjoyable but do not completely spoil the reader's ability to perhaps sleuth their own way to the killer(s). “Deadly Decisions” was extremely interesting for me. The author schools us on Criminal Biker Clubs and the novel highlights “The Bandidos”. Since it was written The Bandidos were massacred. This took place at an isolated farmhouse close to my hometown. It holds the title of Canada's largest mass murder. Our sleepy little town was stunned and shocked. Our crime pages consist of reports to the Provincial Police of grass being left to grow past the municipal by-law height. The detailed writing allowed me to envision exactly how the shocking farmhouse massacre came to be and some of the possible politics behind a raid between warring Bike Club Factions.
