Could her beloved grandfather, a prominent archaeologist, have been a thief, a looter-even a murderer?As Lindsay struggles with these troubling questions, she helps a local private investigator locate the wooded grave of Shirley Foster, a missing faculty member. Lindsay is sucked into the investigation, which leads to more questions that answers. Why did Shirley Foster lie to the world about her life? Who wanted her dead?Secrets and lies loom large in Lindsay's life, both professional and personal, as she struggles to find solutions to the mysteries. When artifacts disappear from the university and she and her students are threatened, the stakes are raised. With her job, her reputation, and her life on the line, Lindsay must find a thief and a killer before the police assume she is ultimately responsible."Chamberlain is fascinating, offbeat and always believable sleuth; settings and supporting characters are equally realistic and intriguing, and the story satisfies both as a mystery and as an entrée into the fascinating world of bones and what they tell us about human behavior.
