Description

"There is not significantly remaining of the irascible Albert Evan Jasper, ""dean of National forensic anthropologists,"" after his death in a fiery motor vehicle accident. However in agreement together with his wishes, his remains—a several charred items of bone—are mounted within an Oregon memorial to produce an intriguing if macabre display. All concur that it's a fitting finish for an excellent forensic researcher--until what's left of him vanishes while in the middle of the bi annual conference (aka the ""bone party and weenie roast"") of the july WAFA—the Developed Association of Forensic Anthropologists—in regional Bend, Oregon. Like his other participants, Gideon Oliver—the Skeleton Investigator--is perplexed.
