Dry Bones
Extraordinary People
What happened to Jacques Gaillard? The brilliant teacher who trained some of France’s future prime ministers and presidents vanished years ago. The mystery inspires a bet that Enzo Macleod, Scottish forensic scientist and biologist teaching in Toulouse, France, can find out what happened to Gaillard by applying new science to a cold case. Armed with important notes, Enzo begins his quest in the Paris catacombs and at a château in Champagne, digging up relics and bones. When he finds the skull of Jacques Gaillard, the artifacts buried with it are clues that set him following in the footsteps of someone—maybe more than one someone—seeking the rest of Gaillard’s remains and the truth about the case. Despite all his missteps, Enzo proves to be an ace investigator, scientific and intuitive, who definitely meets his goals.
