The opportunity of a lifetime awaits archaeologist Emma
Fielding in the Berkshire foothills of Western
Massachusetts: the chance to study the eighteenth-century
diary of Margaret Chandler, the accused witch and murderess
whose home Emma excavated only months before. However, the
three other Shrewsbury Foundation fellows she must share the
premises with are a disturbingly odd bunch, and before too
long one of them is dead.
But Emma can find no solace in the bleak beauty of the
surrounding wilderness, for there are dark secrets encoded
in Madam Chandler's writings, and shocking parallels between
an ancient slaying and the strange, brutal demise of her
colleague. When the killer strikes again, Emma realizes her
own life is at stake. And suddenly there is no choice left:
she is driven to investigate bloody crimes past and present
-- before her own death becomes a footnote in a chilling,
three-centuries-old story.
