When a group of French and American archeologists discovers a "fresh" body at an old dig site, it's up to Gideon Oliver, the Skeleton Detective, to sleuth it out in this "tightly written" mystery. Though most of our reviewers found this an "entertaining" tale of murder in rural France; unfortunately, for some, "You never get the feel of the surroundings." But most agreed, "it holds your attention from the first chapter to the last." "I'll recommend this one."
Les-Eyzies-de-Tayac is known for three things: pâté de fois gras, truffles, and prehistoric remains. The little village, in fact, is the headquarters of the prestigious Institute de Préhistoire, which studies the abundant local fossils. But when a pet dog emerges from a nearby cave carrying parts of a human skeleton-by no means a fossilized one-Chief Inspector Lucien Anatole Joly puts in a call to his old friend, Gideon Oliver, the famed “Skeleton Detective.”
Once Gideon arrives, murder piles on murder, puzzle on puzzle, and twist follows twist in a series of unexpected events that threaten to tear the once sober, dignified Institut apart. It takes a bizarre and startling forensic breakthrough by Gideon to bring to an end a trail of deception thirty-five thousand years in the making.
