A Temperance Brennan Novel (Book 23)
Tempe is called to Washington, DC, to analyze the victims of a deadly blaze. The devastated building is in Foggy Bottom, and Tempe becomes suspicious about the property's ownership when she delves into its history. Tempe learns that back in the thirties and forties the home was the hangout of a group of bootleggers and racketeers known as the Foggy Bottom Gang. This seems irrelevant until the son of a Foggy Bottom gang member is shot dead. As Tempe digs deeper, another property burns to the ground. Tempe's moves since coming to Washington have been anticipated, and every path forward seems to bring with it a lethal threat.
