Summoned to South Carolina to fill in for a negligent
colleague, Tempe is stuck teaching at a lackluster
archeology field school in the ruins of a Native American
burial ground on the Charleston shore. But when Tempe
stumbles upon a fresh skeleton among the ancient bones,
her old friend Emma Rousseau, the local coroner, persuades
Tempe to stay on and help with the investigation. When
Emma reveals a disturbing secret, it becomes more
important than ever for Tempe to help her friend close the
case.
The body count begins to climb. Tempe follows the trail to
a free street clinic with a belligerent staff, a
suspicious doctor, and a donor who is a charismatic
televangelist. Clues abound in the most unlikely places as
Tempe uses her unique knowledge and skills to build her
case, even as the local sheriff remains dubious and her
own life is threatened.
