But one day, as Tempe is relaxing at home alongside her aimless, moody great-niece Ruthie, she’s diverted by a disturbing call. Now, it seems, the perp is upping the ante. This find is larger. Could the remains be human?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTempe visits the scene and discovers that the victim is a dog. Someone’s pet. As someone who has always found animal cruelty deeply abhorrent, she vows to help apprehend the person responsible for the killings. With her layered knowledge of animal behaviour, Ruthie becomes a valuable ally in the hunt for answers, as does semi-retired homicide detective Erskine ‘Skinny’ Slidell, who is equally outraged and committed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeeding a better understanding of possible motives, Tempe and Skinny seek input from a forensic psychologist, who has no definitive answer but offers several possibilities. The escalating pattern of aggression suggests even more macabre discoveries – and that the perp’s focus may soon shift to humans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd then it happens. A woman is found disfigured and posed in a manner that mimics the earlier killings. As Tempe and Slidell follow the horrifying clues to a shocking conclusion, they find themselves force to confront an increasingly terrifying question.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is pure evil?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jonathan Ball Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":50617830670624,"sku":"9781398531239","price":399.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/2916\/0559\/files\/9781398531239_e24bbc3e-cb92-4293-9bd9-444c37aa28fc.jpg?v=1772996068","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookkeepershop.co.za\/products\/brennan-24-evil-bones","provider":"The Book Keeper Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
