Oh, Jean, don't bait me like that! Kathy Reichs?
A few years ago, Arthur Lyons co-write a couple of novels
with LA forensic bigshot Thomas Nugucci (or something like
that?). Those might be a bit more hardboiled than Reichs'
offerings, which have a whole chunk of gothic woman-in-peril
that, IMHO, really drag 'em down. But I'm not sure if the
Lyons' books dealt with forensic anthropology or just
forensics, or just being a coroner.
And didn't Aaron Elkins or something like that write a series
about a forensic anthropologist called Gideon Oliver? Never
read the books, but I think Lou Gosset played him in a TV
movie....my guess is these aren't too hardboiled, either, but
I could be wrong...oops! someone already mentioned this guy,
right?
