Written in Bone

Written in Bone

"Written in Bone" is a novel written by the British crime fiction writer Simon Beckett, first published in 2007. It is the second novel to feature Dr David Hunter.

"On the remote Hebridean island of Runa, a grisly discovery awaits the arrival of forensic anthropologist Dr. David Hunter.""A body - almost totally incinerated but for the feet and a single hand - has been found. The local police are quick to record an accidental death but Hunter's instincts say otherwise: he's convinced it's murder. In fact Runa is far from the peaceful community it first appears - and a burned corpse is only one of it's dark secrets."

"Then an Atlantic storm descends, severing all power and contact with the mainland. And as the storm rages, the killing begins in earnest..."
