Like her main character Temperance Brennan, Kathy Reichs is also a forensic anthropologist, and she uses those experiences to help shape and craft her thrilling suspense novels. In addition to the Temperance Brennan series, Reichs co-authors the young adult series, Virals, with her son, Brendan Reichs, as well as a number of scholarly nonfiction works. She has also been a producer for the TV series Bones, which is loosely based on her books. Some of Reichs’ top titles are Speaking in Bones, Exposure/i>, and Déjà Dead.
