Flash and Bones (Temperance Brennan Series, Book #14) by Kathy Reichs
As 200,000 fans pour into town for Race Week, a body is found in a metal drum near Charlotte Motor Speedway -- a discovery that has NASCAR crewman Wayne Gamble urgently seeking out Tempe at the Mecklenburg County ME's office: twelve years ago, his sister, Cindi, then a high school senior and aspiring professional race car driver, disappeared along with her boyfriend, Cale Lovette, who was linked to a group of right-wing extremists. The FBI joined the investigation, but it was soon terminated. Is the body Cindi's? or Cale's? Tests reveal that a toxic substance was in the drum with the body -- just as another disappearance occurs. Who is orchestrating the mayhem behind the scenes at NASCAR -- and what government secrets might have been buried more than a decade ago?
