Bones to Ashes by Kathy Reichs

Under the microscope, the outer bone surface is a moonscape of craters.

”I don’t have a diagnosis.”

The skeleton is that of a young girl, no more than fourteen years old- and forensic anthropologist Dr Temperance Brennan is struggling to keep her emotions in check. Coroner Jean Bradette is being evasive. But, it doesn’t quite add up, and Temperance is convinced that Bradette is hiding something. A memory triggered deep in her hind brain - the diappearance of a childhood friend; no warning, no explanation.

Detective Ryan is working a series of parallel cases and requires Temperance;s forensic expertise. Three missing persons, three unidentified bodies - all female, all early to mid-teens.. Could there be a serial killer at work? Can she and Ryan put their personal tensions aside and stop the killer before another young girl falls prey?

Working on instinct, Temperance takes matters into her own hands. But she couldn’t have predicted where this case would lead or the horrors it would eventually uncover.

World Without End by Ken Follett
On the day after Halloween, in the year 1327, four children slip away from the cathedral city of Kingsbridge. They are a thief, a bully, a boy genius and a girl who wants to be a doctor.
In the forest, they see two men killed. As adults, their lives will be braided together by love, ambition, greed and revenge. One will travel the world, one will be powerful but corrupt, the girl will defy the church, and the other pursue an impossible love and all will live under the long shadow of the unexplained killing they witnessed on that fateful childhood day.
