The next charming mystery from Carolyn Haines featuring
spunky southern private investigator Sarah Booth Delaney.
Dr. Frank Hafner is an archeologist working on excavating a
new-found Native American temple site in the Mississippi
Delta. He's also too handsome for his own good, and a bit of
a flirt. Oddly enough, it's the first quality that gets him
in trouble when he discovers the ritualistic murder of one
of his archeological crew. When Coleman Peters, Sheriff and
Sarah Booth's boyfriend, takes Dr. Hafner in for questioning
in the murder, the accused doctor hires Sarah Booth to clear
his name.
Soon, Sarah Booth has uncovered a number of possible
suspects, but she can't narrow them down fast enough to stem
the continuing violence that seems to trace back to Dr.
Hafner's dig. When Peter Deerstalker, a member of the Tunica
tribe, mentions a curse, it doesn't seem so
far-fetched--especially when a young graduate student on the
site claims someone on the site is searching for something
much more precious than ancient pottery...
Something spooky is going on in the Mississippi Delta, and
though Sarah Booth isn't sure who to trust, or what to
believe, she knows she won't rest until she's dug up the truth.
