Was he the victim of a shark attack? Or something much more sinister?.
And then Tempe is contacted by Hadley Perry, Honolulu\'s flamboyant medical examiner, who needs help identifying the remains of an adolescent boy found offshore.
Three bodies--all identified as Lowery.
Soon another set of remains is located, with Lowery\'s dog tags tangled among them.
In Hawaii, Tempe is joined by her colleague and ex-lover Detective Andrew Ryan (how ex is he?) and by her daughter, who is recovering from her own tragic loss.
But how could Lowery have died twice, and how did an American soldier end up in Canada? Tempe sets off for the answer, exhuming Lowery\'s grave in North Carolina and taking the remains to Hawaii for reanalysis--to the headquarters of JPAC, the US military\'s Joint POW/ MIA Accounting Command, which strives to recover Americans who have died in past conflicts.
The corpse is later identified as John Lowery.
The victim appears to have died while in the midst of a bizarre sexual practice.
Four decades later, Temperance Brennan is called to the scene of a drowning in Hemmingford, Quebec.
John Lowery was declared dead in 1968--the victim of a Huey crash in Vietnam, his body buried long ago in North Carolina.
