Summary
A nature trek turns dangerous when the wilderness gives up its bones…
New Zealand’s remote Milford Track seems the perfect place for forensic investigator Alexa Glock to reconnect with her brother Charlie, with whom she hasn’t spent much time since they were kids.

What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A vacation hiking New Zealand’s Milford Track turns deadly for forensic odontologist Alexa Glock, her brother, and the two dozen people in their group. Familiarly novel territory for fans of Aaron Elkins and Kathy Reichs.” – Kirkus Reviews
“Alexa muses, about the same time we do, that we’re in a “locked-room manor mystery,” though this one is surrounded by a natural world as malevolent as the humans inside. This third entry in the Alexa Glock series takes the blinders off our view of the great outdoors.” – Booklist
“Smart and relentlessly paced, The Bone Track is an ingenious locked room mystery playing out on a famous hiking trail. The story is shot through with the wild New Zealand landscape, the mysteries of the Maori culture, and the clever mind of Alexa Glock. The suspense ratchets up as the pieces of forensic evidence fit together, the suspects are narrowed, and Alexa contends with the hazards of nature and threats from the company of fellow hikers.” – Frederick Weisel, author of The Silenced Women and The Day He Left
“The real star here is New Zealand’s Milford Track. Armchair travelers will best appreciate this one.” – Publishers Weekly
“This book stands out due to its unusual location and forensic-science focus…especially Alexa’s fascinating specialty: dead people’s teeth.” – First Clue
