"[T]wo of his favorites, the sensuous bones around the eye sockets--the sphenoid and the ethmoid."
Bones! The human body has so many of them. Deaver's breakout success came with this story of an eccentric private collector and his diligent efforts to acquire a great quantity of Bones, continually hindered by uncultured police detectives who simply do not understand the 'gentle madness' driving the gentleman amateur; and so, in the end, the power and financial resources of an institution defeat the lonely antiquarian who does, it is true, commit an awful lot of murders. Adapted into a 1999 film starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie, and again into a short-lived television series in 2020.
