As Macrae Burnet is careful not to specify the genre of this final text, it may turn out to be a departure – a Brunet memoir or biography of Simenon, perhaps even a guidebook to Saint-Louis – that would, presumably, further compromise the reliability of The Disappearance of Adèle Bedeau and The Accident on the A35.

A fatal car accident on the A35 kills respectable lawyer, Bernard Barthelme, a man not much mourned by those close to him or those who knew him.Just what was departed up to and what, if anything, is the link between the murder of a woman in Strasbourg? But one question dogs Inspector Georges Gorski: where has the victim, an outwardly austere lawyer, been on the night of his death? No mystery there, until Gorski is asked by the attractive young widow, Lucette, to look further into the accident, due to an unexplained route Bertrand took on the night in question. Another sweltering month in Charlotte, another boatload of mysteries past and present for overworked, overstressed forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan. He enjoys the freedom he now has to drink heavily whenever he chooses but misses her company despite their mutual irritations.
