CIS and Bones fans will enjoy this book by Lorraine Jean Hopping about a real-life forensic anthropologist.
Diane France, daughter of a small-town doctor in Colorado, became interested in physical anthropology during her second semester at Colorado State University. She decided to further specialize and become a forensic anthropologist (one who analyzes bones as evidence in an investigation). In exciting though at times grisly cases, she has helped determine cause of death and identify victims. Some of her most famous cases involved identification of various remains: bodies of the assassinated Romanovs of Russia; Jesse James; and victims of the 9-11 attack in New York. She has organized NecroSearch, a volunteer group trained to find missing victims often buried in secreted graves.
