An ingenious page turner.\" —Michael Mann A plot to disrupt a global peace summit in Chicago collides with a civil rights case breakthrough at a mysterious archaeological site . . . Chicago detective Randall Jenkins has not been back home to the historic Civil Rights hotspot of Cairo, Illinois since the disappearance of his mother, a well-known journalist, several decades ago. That all changes the day Dr. Molly Moore, an ambitious young archaeologist in the national spotlight for her groundbreaking high-tech discoveries, uncovers a set of strange bones at a huge 12,000-year-old site at a highway construction project. With retired military general and contractor William Alexander breathing down her neck to cover up the dig, Molly and Randall soon find themselves in the middle of a wild military conspiracy. The detective and archaeologist’s entwined family mysteries suddenly thrust them into the central position as the only people who can ensure the safety of the ongoing Chicago global peace summit. They must take on the rogue general who views any disarmament agreement as a clear and present danger to the United States. The fate of global peace and the lives of Molly and Randall hang in the balance.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781685891459","publication_date":"20241022","publisher":"Melville House","slug":"disturbing-the-bones","subtitle":"Kindle Edition","title":"Disturbing the Bones"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"FIC031060","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Political Thrillers","score":0.8329,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC031010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Crime Fiction","score":0.8189,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC031050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Military Thrillers","score":0.8125,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"FIC031060","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Political Thrillers","score":0.8329,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC031010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Crime Fiction","score":0.8189,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"FIC031050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Military Thrillers","score":0.8125,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"FIC031050","confidence_band":"high","label":"Military Thrillers","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC031060","confidence_band":"high","label":"Political Thrillers","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"FIC036000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Tech Thrillers","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Political Thrillers","score":0.8329,"slug":"political-thrillers"},{"label":"Crime Fiction","score":0.8189,"slug":"crime-fiction"},{"label":"Military Thrillers","score":0.8125,"slug":"military-thrillers"}],"reader_fit":["Readers who enjoy political thrillers about nuclear diplomacy and conspiracies","Good for readers interested in archaeological mysteries linked to civil-rights history"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Douglas Preston","Lincoln Child"],"book_id":"9781538701379","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781538701379.jpg?v=0c3eb46d7829bb17","score":0.7529,"title":"Old Bones","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781538701379"},{"authors":["Anne Burt"],"book_id":"9781640096042","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781640096042.jpg?v=c3c115dc8ee50e1c","score":0.7527,"title":"The Dig","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781640096042"},{"authors":["Don Bentley"],"book_id":"9780593333570","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780593333570.jpg?v=5e732edb9e212a1d","score":0.7291,"title":"Forgotten War","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780593333570"},{"authors":["Rick Campbell"],"book_id":"9781250323378","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781250323378.jpg?v=6058bdd9fb503eee","score":0.7268,"title":"Deep Strike","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781250323378"},{"authors":["John Love"],"book_id":"9781597805667","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781597805667.jpg?v=a4489b54162208f1","score":0.7257,"title":"Evensong","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781597805667"},{"authors":["Jonathan Maberry"],"book_id":"9781250619327","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781250619327.jpg?v=13bfe2c7b5446288","score":0.7244,"title":"Cave 13","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781250619327"},{"authors":["Michael Idov"],"book_id":"9781668082287","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781668082287.jpg?v=781e1e05b4c51482","score":0.7229,"title":"The Cormorant Hunt","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781668082287"},{"authors":["Stuart Archer Cohen"],"book_id":"9780312429058","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780312429058.jpg?v=b781e5b2db8fdaa1","score":0.7211,"title":"The Army of the Republic","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780312429058"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:action adventure"],"label":"Adventure","score":0.0897,"slug":"adventure"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:action adventure"],"label":"Action","score":0.0371,"slug":"action"},{"evidence_refs":["phrase_map_match"],"label":"Civil Rights","score":0.0074,"slug":"civil-rights"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Nuclear disarmament, Civil-rights history, Family mysteries.","Pacing: fast, momentum-driven storytelling.","Story elements: Military conspiracy, Archaeological mystery, Global summit in danger."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.94,"pacing":"fast","reader_fit":["Readers who enjoy political thrillers about nuclear diplomacy and conspiracies","Readers interested in archaeological mysteries linked to civil-rights history"],"themes":["Nuclear disarmament","Civil-rights history","Family mysteries"],"tropes":["Military conspiracy","Archaeological mystery","Global summit in danger"]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":43,"goodreads_ratings_count":148,"goodreads_reviews_count":34,"quality_score":0.8921}}
