( ) Jordan's Stormy Banks by Jefferson Bass (Novella) 4★'s From The Book Cover: In the summer of 1990, Dr. Bill Brockton a bright, ambitious young forensic scientist is hired by the University of Tennessee to head, and to raise the profile of, the school's small Anthropology Department. Six months later, the ink on his contract barely dry, Brockton is called to a gruesome crime scene in a rural area to identify a corpse and determine how the woman died. But the case one of Brockton's first murder investigations in Tennessee could also prove to be his last when he runs afoul of both the county sheriff and an angry mob intent on administering their own swift, rough brand of "justice." With his back to the wall, Brockton is forced to think fast, talk faster, and hope for a miracle. My Thoughts: I have read every Body Farm book that this duo has produced and have to say they are two of my favorite authors. Dr. Bill Bass founded the forensic anthropology Research Facility known as the Body Farm located at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville...so along with writing partner, Jon Jefferson they have created true to life stories based around the facility. A word of warning to those with weak stomachs...sometimes the scenes they create are TOO vivid and real to life for some people. I don't particularly care for novellas as they just seem to wet the appetite for more and are often used to sell a series. This one is not an exception... but it would hold an interest to previous readers as it told of Dr. Bill Brackton's first case after his appointment to the University. Because I really like the series I would have to give it a 4. Novella, fast read. But what a read! A real dangerous situation tops the investigation, with ... no, I will not spoil it, but just say, it rings of a truth we would like to stay buried. Although the story takes place in the 1990, the beginning of the Body Farm, it could take place today, without missing a beat. Highly recommended. But I still think, it is to pricy ( Eur 2,01 that Us$ 1,45) for this fast a read, I think it should be 1 Eur or 1 Us$. Disturbing trend, a lot of times I was able to find such a Novella for for such a price or even for free, but in the past months they just grew more expensive.
