"Hazel 'Lucky' Strike--a strident amateur detective who mines the Internet for cold cases--comes to Brennan with a tape recording of an unknown girl being held prisoner and terrorized. Strike is convinced the voice is that of eighteen-year-old Cora Teague, who went missing more than three years earlier. Strike is also certain that the teenager's remains are gathering dust in Temperance Brennan's lab. Brennan has doubts about working with a self-styled websleuth, but when the evidence seems to add up, Brennan's next stop is the treacherous backwoods where the chilling recording (and maybe Cora Teague's bones) were discovered"--Dust jacket flap.

Tempe's really getting herself into some situations. Started out creepy, but then just fell flat. I did think it was funny that she referenced Bones though.

There were some amusing references to the Bones TV series, many of them tongue-in-cheek in their derogatory nature since they had to do with amateur investigative groups culling the internet in efforts to break cold-cases for fame and fortune. It was meta and made for great fun.
