DR. TEMPERANCE BRENNAN, is a highly skilled forensic anthropologist who also writes mystery novels. Law enforcement calls on her to assist with murder investigations when the standard methods of identifying a body are useless – Brennan’s special expertise lies in her uncanny ability to read clues left behind in the victim’s bones.
Slightly at odds with the world, Brennan is most comfortable with her equally brilliant and quirky colleagues at the institute she works with, but often finds herself teamed with Special Agent SEELEY BOOTH during murder investigations. A former military man, Booth mistrusts scientists, believing the key to solving crimes lies in good-old-fashioned investigative work. Brennan and Booth frequently clash both professionally and personally, but even he cannot deny that the combination of his people-smarts and Brennan’s scientific acumen make them a formidable team.
An investigative drama with humor and heart, BONES probes the humanity behind the scientists who probe the inhumanity behind horrific crimes.
