You're probably thinking of Kathy Reichs' Temperance Brennan novels. Tempe is a forensic anthropologist (as is Kathy) and Kathy was the basis for the TV show 'Bones', in which Kathy and Tempe switch names. That is, on the show, the real person's name is Temperance Brennan and she writes novels about a character called Kathy Reichs.\n\nKathy Reichs' first Temperance Brennan novel was 'Deja Dead'

Dean Koontz's The Door to December. There' an English book from the 70's I read... I can't remember the author but it's called Parasite. Don't know of any nonfiction though.

It was a Brittish scientist and unfortanately I can't remember his name. It was used as evidence the first time in a murder trail in England where two girls were found dead in a path near a field. The new science of Dna helped to prove whom the killer was. I even read the book about the murder investigation and the scientist but me with my middleage brain can not remember it's name either. Maybe someone out there can remember the name of the scientist or the  name of the book. Sorry I could not be of more help. But maybe this will put you on the right track

I have heard that "Northern Mysteries and Magic" by Freya Aswinn is good, but I haven't read it. Check out sunnyway.com/runes, there is a lot of good information there.

Sue Grafton's novels are good.  (P is for Peril, for example).  On, Off by Colleen McCullough and 5th Horseman by James Ptterson are also great.  Vanished and Superstition by Karen Robards are two more possibilities.

I would encourage you to go ahead and take a graduate course in forensic science after you finish college.  It's a really interesting and worthwhile field, but you do need that background of a bachelor's in anthropology before you start on it.  Look at\nhttp://www.aafs.org/default.asp?section_id=resources&page_id=choosing_a_career\nor \nhttp://web.utk.edu/~anthrop/\nfor more information.\nGood Luck

That is so hard to answer ... there are so many terrific books ... let's see ... one of the best I have read is Randon Passage by Bernice Morgan about a couple of fishing families on a remote island off Newfoundland in the 1800's - there is a CBC mini-series about it - excellent!  The worst would be any of the "fluff" popular mystery books by authors who churn them out almost a couple a year.
