Brilliant, dedicated, and driven, archaeologist Emma
Fielding finds things that have been lost for hundreds of
years -- and she's very, very good at it. A
soon-to-be-tenured professor, she has recently unearthed
evidence of a seventeenth-century coastal Maine settlement
that predates Jamestown, one of the most significant
archaeological finds in years. But the dead body that
accompanies it has embroiled Emma and her students in a
different kind of exploration. With her reputation suddenly
in jeopardy -- due to the ruthless machinations of a
disgruntled rival -- and a second suspicious death,
heartbreakingly close to home, Emma must unearth a killer
among the relics. But that means digging deep to get to dark
secrets buried in the heart of the archaeological community
-- which, in turn, could bury Emma Fielding.
