Publisher's summary

“If you have to puke, don’t puke on the bones,” I said. Laughter—bravado on the surface, nervousness underneath—skittered through the group of students. Most of the thirty bleary-eyed undergraduates milling outside the wooden gate of the Body Farm would be fine, but judging from my experience in prior years—and my assessment of several queasy-looking faces today—a couple of these kids would lose their breakfast.

Old Bones and Anthropologists

This weird, short tale of a class of anthropologists who've gone out to the Body Farm to dig up some specimens which have been donated to the university for scientific study is a smart one. When a couple of the students are late returning with their "assigned body", i.e. corpse, the team goes off in search of them to learn they have found an extra body. Do they get extra credit for it? Well, no . . . they get to call the police. And discovering who and how the extra skeleton arrived in the Body Farm is quite the exercise, literally and figuratively. With strange forensic humor, the professor and the detective in charge, quickly find out who the killer is and deliver the scenario up to the listeners. This is an excellent, if gory, listen.
