In a refuse dump next to the Charlotte racetrack,a flash of lightning illuminates a hand reaching out of a barrel of asphalt. There's not much that can shock Dr Tempe Brennan,forensic anthropologist,but even she finds the sight of the hand macabre.And with race week a just a day away,she's under pressure to find answers and clear the area before thousands of NASCAR fans arrive. But before she can carry out a proper examination,the FBI confiscate and destroy the body with no explanation.Infuriated,Tempe is determined to find answers,so when a young NASCAR engineer comes to her with a story about his sister who disappeared with her boyfriend twelve years before,she decides to try to find answers. Digging deeper into the mystery,Tempe comes up against the Patriot Posse,a shadowy right-wing group whose dubious politics repulse her,but could they really be behind the disappearance of the young couple? When the young man is found crushed under the wheels of a racecar,his body covered in a mysterious substance,Tempe realises that she is dealing with something far more sinister than she imagined. But with both FBI and the Patriot Posse taking an interest in her movements,she has no idea where the danger is coming from,nor whether it could threaten her own life. . .

The Secret Hunters - an elite group of individuals,determined to bring justice to the victims of genocide.Cambodia,1974.After the advance of the Khmer Rouge forces Derek Jacobs to leave Phnom Penh,he swaps the Asia heat for the freezing temperatures of Canada's North West Territories.It is a decision that is to change his life in the most extraordinary way.When the weekly plane arrives on its way to the military's top-secret alert Base,Jacobs brushes against an engineer changing flights and attacks him. Why has he acted so out of character? The man is a complete stranger,yet Jacobs can't shake the belief that he knows him. Jacob's aunt,his only family,has always been silent about his past, but now,mystified by his own inexplicable behaviour,he persuades her to reveal the secrets of his childhood. Jacobs and his family had suffered the horrors of a genocidal death march, during which his mother was brutally abused and murdered.His subsequent quest for revenge and his recruitment into the Secret Hunters pits him against an international Nazi network of the 1990s.He infiltrates an illegal voyage to Antarctica which includes the man from his own nightmare past.For eight of the ten passengers on the Lorelei's final journey,there will be no return from the ice fields.
