Order of Jefferson Bass Books


Jefferson Bass is not one person, but rather a pen name used by the team of Jon Jefferson and Dr. Bill Bass. Together, they co-author The Body Farm series. They started working together on a non-fiction book called Death’s Acre, the success of which caused them to collaborate on a crime fiction series involving real-life forensics.

Their collaborations in fiction began in 2006 with Carved in Bone. Below is a list of the Jefferson Bass novels in order of when they were originally published, which is also their chronological order:
