A reclusive old man has been brutally slain at the La Brea Tar Pits.

And everyone involved--from an alluring scientist with a dark secret to a treacherous CIA officer with his own agenda--is suspect. With more at stake than just a pile of bones, Kate has to gather together the pieces of a timeless puzzle, and make sure they all fit--before a remorseless killer decides to make her a part of history...

For most of the rest of the series Kate has taken small steps during each book, but in t his one she leaps forward. And because of the way the previous books were written it doesn't seem like the leap is out of character for Kate.
Also, for the first time (at least that's how it seems) there isn't some strikingly beautiful woman that Kate finds 'odd' and yet can't 'do' anything about it. Finally the character seems as though maybe she's not looking for the next thing, but has figured out her life a little.
The murder is that of an older woman, but for once the murder is not the entire point of the novel. Instead Forrest switches between the court case and some parts of the police investigation (nicely skipping over the boring parts of the investigation).
It's a great book with a great balance of case story line and Kate's personal story line. Five stars for sure. Still, I wish there were more books in this series. ( )
