In this thrilling chapter in Faye Kellerman’s bestselling series, Rina Lazarus makes a shocking discovery in the woods of her upstate New York community that leads her husband, police detective Peter Decker, through a series of gruesome, decades old, unsolved murders, pointing to a diabolical, serial killer who’s been hiding in plain sight.On a bright and crisp September morning, while walking a … September morning, while walking a bucolic woodland trail, Rina Decker stumbles upon human remains once buried deep beneath the forest grounds. Immediately, she calls her husband, Peter, a former detective lieutenant with LAPD, now working for the local Greenbury Police. Within hours, a vista of beauty and tranquility is transformed into a frenetic crime scene. The body has been interred for years and there is scant physical evidence at the gravesite: a youthful skeleton, a skull wound and long dark strands of hair surrounding the bony frame. As Decker and his partner, Tyler McAdams, further investigate, they realize that they’re most likely dealing with a missing student from the nearby Five Colleges of Upstate—a well-known and well-respected consortium of higher learning where Rina works.
And when more human remains are found in the same area, Decker and McAdams know this isn’t just a one-off murder case. Short-staffed and with no convenient entry into the colleges, Decker enlists Rina’s help to act as the eyes and ears of campus gossip. Winding their way through a dangerous labyrinth of steely suspects and untouchable academics, Decker, McAdams, and Rina race to protect their community from a psychopathic killer still in the area—and on the hunt for a fresh victim.

Love this series
I loved this book. Another great adventure from this author
This Author is dependably great.
Read this book on a whim.
Found it so engaging that I have started the whole series. Well written!
And I truly appreciate the opportunity to enter, and learn from, a culture which is new to me.
More of a series I have always enjoyed. Good Read
Too many suspects–difficult (for me) to keep them straight–gave me a headache..
As always, Kellerman provides an intriguing plot driven by her long-time central characters.
This book Bone box will change your perspective on life itself. By reading this book, you realize you have no control over life.
The mystery, the way the book unfolds itself got me reading in the night,as if i have to submit a report tomorrow.
Its a really good book
Her writing still continues to keep this reader interested in the whole book, not just the plot. With little bits of history, geography, and back story, the story moves along at a nice pace. So many authors after writing the ‘same’ character for years run out of ‘believable’ happenings, but Kellerman still meshes all characters ‘old’ and new alike to make an intriguing novel. I’ve read all of hers, as well, as her husband’s (Jonathan) books and am looking forward to more.
Good plot. Love this series
I love this series by Faye Kellerman. I enjoy the relationship between the couple and all of the information about the Jewish faith that is included.
I am a real fan of the Kellerman books. This one does not disappoint
This book felt like the author was calling it in. Felt formulaic and cliched. Not up to snuff compared to other books on the series.
This is a great book. Keeps you guessing…a real “who did it”!
Good read
Her books are always good.
