Bone Thief Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Bone Thief


A killer takes the bones of his victims and a police detective leads a task force to track down the killer. The detective has a wife at home on life support in a persistent vegetative state while his female side kick is in love with him.   A 14 year old computer genius appears to help with the case and provides the only real leads. She even sets up a meeting with the killer. The meeting is for 10 am and of course the child is warned not to come. At 1:30 pm the stake out is called off and at that time, the child shows up: she didn't want to miss the meeting. She is roundly chastised by our hero who even then doesn't get around to telling her parents of her involvement. Unfortunately, that type if illogical progression permeates this book and destroys what started out as an enjoyable read.
