On the Case.

The article presents an interview with author and forensic expert Kathy Reichs, who inspired the television show "Bones." Topics discussed include what attracted her to the field of forensic anthropology, how closely she works with criminal investigators, whether she thinks about crime victims a lot, her testimony at a United Nations tribunal about genocide in Rwanda, whether she worries about her safety, when she started writing fiction, and what her colleagues think of her success in various media.
