Kathy Reichs is both a practicing forensic anthropologist and the author of the long-running Temperance Brennan mystery series. Her real-world expertise gives the novels a level of forensic detail that most crime fiction writers can’t match — Reichs has worked for the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in North Carolina and for the Laboratoire de sciences judiciaires et de medecine legale in Montreal.
Her Temperance Brennan series launched in 1997 with Deja Dead and now includes over thirty novels, multiple short stories, and the Tory Brennan Virals spin-off for young adult readers. The series inspired the TV show Bones, though the screen version takes considerable liberties with the source material. Reichs has also written a standalone thriller, Two Nights (2017), and non-fiction about forensic science.
