Not teenagers are found dead in chapter fifteen of the series rather there three babies on the list that are found dead. Corpses of babies are a horrible site to see but for Tempe analyzing and dissecting corpses is a regular business. Teasing thing for her is her old crush investigating the same case and he is interviewing the mother of the murdered babies. Mother of these murdered ones is a prostitute and seeing Ryan close to her is a terrible thing for Tempe.
Though things between the two broke many years ago but the old fire still remains and it burns the two from within. Case gets big as the investigations move further and the Canadian police department also comes into play and takes charge of the case that seems to be having its roots in the mining country.
For the investigation of one of the history’s darkest sin Tempe moves further and the trails terrorizes her to the core. Never ever before Kathy Reichs has involved babies in the stories, Cross Bones and Break No Bones had religion and politics but not babies. Little infants cannot be anybody’s enemy as they cannot become witness to anything so why someone felt the need of killing them in a hideous way.
Ryan’s investigation also leads him to the same spot but he still thinks that the mother of the infants was lying to him on some of the points and she is also involved in some way. High sounds and yelling is not Linda Emond’s business but the narrator stretches the vocal cords a little for this one where the mother is really crying sky high.
