Asked to join in a dig at the site of the eighteenth–century
Chandler House, archaeologist Emma Fielding and her student
crew have descended upon Stone Harbor, Massachusetts. But
certain residents of the tiny coastal community are none too
happy about Emma's arrival -- especially when her excavation
uncovers a pair of freshly slain corpses. There are dark
forces at play in this dangerously divided town, where a
distrust of strangers wars with a desire for tourist
dollars. And when a young local's life is snuffed out, Emma
is determined to get to the twisted roots of the strange
secrets buried in this killing ground. But a mystery that
lies among the tumbled ruins of a once grand manor could
change Stone Harbor forever. And for some murderous someone,
one more death -- Emma's -- would be a small price to pay to
keep it hidden.
