The book was _Bad Twin_.

Dunno if this counts or not, but author Kathy Reichs writes a series of novels about forensic anthropologist Temperance “Bones” Brennan. The TV series _Bones_ is based on the books and in the series the character Bones writes a series of novels about forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs.
