Bones don't lie. But forensic anthropologist Lindsay Chamberlain hadn't bargained for THIS kind of trouble when she signed on with the archaeological dig at the Jasper Creek Site. Who is the mysterious woman in burial twenty-three? She wasn't part of the ancient Indian village. She's only been in the ground for fifty years or so, and the trouble is, she's not the only unexpected find. Body after body surfaces in the town of Merry Claymoore, Georgia, and some of these graves are very fresh.

When the local sheriff asks for her help in identifying the victims, Lindsay can't say no. As she and her crew are drawn into a maelstrom of suspicion, accusation, and terror raging between those who want the truth unearthed and those who want it to remain buried, Lindsay's special expertise with bones could be the death of her.
