## Description

In the most suspenseful installment of the New York Times nestselling Body Farm series to date, forensic anthropologist Dr. Bill Brockton investigates a bizarre murder—and confronts a deadly enemy he thought he’d put behind bars for good. Forensic anthropologist Bill Brockton has spent twenty-five years solving brutal murders—but none so bizarre and merciless as his latest case: A ravaged set of skeletal remains is found chained to a tree on a remote mountainside. As Brockton and his assistant Miranda dig deeper, they uncover warning signs of a deadly eruption of hatred and violence. But the shocking case is only the beginning of Brockton’s trials. Mid-case, the unthinkable happens: The deadliest criminal Brockton has ever foiled—the sadistic serial killer Nick Satterfield—escapes from prison, bent on vengeance. But simply killing Brockton isn’t enough. Satterfield wants to make him suffer first, by destroying everything he holds dear: Brockton’s son, daughter-in-law, grandsons; even Miranda, his longtime graduate assistant, now on the verge of completing her Ph.D. and launching a forensic career of her own. The dangers from all directions force Brockton to question two things on which he’s based his entire career—the justice system, and the quality of mercy—and to wonder: can the two co-exist? If not, which will Brockton choose in his ultimate moment of truth?

Review: Excellent - of course - Dr Bass and Mr Jefferson, together have created yet another excellent novel. Having read all previous "Body Farm Novels" this one was on par. The subject in line with current times in the USA and suspenseful from page one! The depths that hate goes to in the USA is horrible - the country that loves to hate for various reasons since its founding. How far these hate groups, supremest groups, separatist groups etc will go and how evil their methods. Thank you Dr Bass and Mr Jefferson for sharing this novel and exposing the horrors done by haters in the USA. I always appreciate the forensic details presented and find several characters familiar enough to shed a tear when they "die" This is an excellent story
Review: I've learned so much about forensics, thanks to these authors - I have read most of this series, although not always in the order of their publication, and enjoyed every one. "Enjoyed" may be a strange term about books that contain so much mayhem and horror but so much information about how horrific crimes are investigated. I had not known until the afterword of this novel that this is likely the last one so thanks to these authors for many excellent reads

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mortality Bill and the Tree of Death
*by C***N on October 4, 2016*

Good news -- the latest novel of the Body Farm series, "Without Mercy," lives up to the high standards of its predecessors. The series, co-authored by Dr. Bill Bass and writer Jon Jefferson, recount the exploits of the (mostly) fictional head of the University of Tennessee anthropology department, forensic anthropologist Dr. Bill Brockton. Neither novel serialization nor co-authorship guarantees a good read. Co-authorship sometimes attenuates the best qualities of each writer; novels with recurring characters can tend toward repetition and short-cuts for expediency and profit. The Body Farm novels do not greatly suffer these qualitative drawbacks, but some repetition is inevitable. As the tenth book in the series, the familiarity of context does arise, but the narrative soon rises above this. Favorite aphorisms are repeated: Occam’s Razor; “shoot your way in and back out” (crime photos); the fascination with “don’t care to”; and boogie man Nick Satterfield is back. There is more overly-fanciful prose than usual: “the truck was like a four-wheel version of Charon’s boat, ferrying the dead across the river Styx…” describes Br. Brockton’s pick-up truck. We again hear about the archived boxes of Arikara Indian skeletons, as the prosaic Brockton asserts, “I could almost believe I heard the whispering spirits of the vast tribe of Arikara dead.” Fortunately, this seemingly pointless observation later develops into a deeper immersion into the complexity of ethnicity and history in a geographical region steeped in conflict, blood and hatred that has yet to find resolution. Beyond minor shortcomings, the book, like the others, is masterfully plotted and constructed, easing the reader into the vehicle of Brockton’s world and strapping you in before accelerating to gravity-escaping velocity. For an entertaining read, there is some thoughtful material here. As usual, Bass’s science and Jefferson’s literary skill combine for satisfying results. You can read up on Dr. Bass and the Anthropology Research Center (UT Body Farm in Knoxville), but suffice it to say he is the real life precursor to the Cornwell and Reichs books. The science and procedural aspects of the story are meticulously researched (who knew what a “lead smear” was?). "Without Mercy” takes us through the interplay of academic anthropology; collaboration and friction between the FBI, TBI, local law enforcement and collegial relationships; the odd configuration of Brockton's offices underneath Neyland Stadium on the Tennessee River; the delight of growing older and incipient obsolescence; loneliness; Knoxville's favorite suicide spot; and a disturbing explication of the moral insanity of organized racial hatred. Though recommended, you have to wonder if this is the final book of the series. As the good doctor remarks, “I had so many ghosts floating around in my head by now; every new case seemed to remind me of an old case, or two or three or five old cases…”
