Dr. Bill Brockton has to solve two mysteries in The Inquisitor’s Key—and one of them is 700 years old! This latest Body Farm novel finds Brockton and his protégé, Miranda Lovelady, in Avignon, France, where they’re investigating a 14th-century stone chest full of bones. What is the link between the bones and the Shroud of Turin? And, more ominously, what is the link between the bones and an enigmatic American evangelist named Reverend Jonah?

It becomes increasingly clear to Brockton that this European excursion will be anything but relaxing. Meanwhile, he’s preoccupied with an arson fire back home—one that killed an FBI agent about to bring down a drug kingpin. When past and present collide, the impact may shatter Brockton’s bones.
