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.

"The discovery of an early seventeenth-century settlement on the coast of Maine that could predate Jamestown could make the reputation of ambitious archaeologist Emma Fielding, but an all-too-recent corpse, followed by a second suspicious death, could destroy everything. Original."@en
"Savvy and brilliant, archaelolgist Emma Fielding is on the cusp of the most important discovery of her career! Excavating in a small coastal town in Maine, the soon-to-be-tenured professor and her diligent students unearth a coin that is evidence of a 17th century English settlement. Then the dig comes to a screeching halt when a cadaver washes up nearby, and Emma's friend Pauline, who owns the land they are working on, perishes in a suspicious fire. Pauline recently changed her will in Emma's favor, sparking resentment among Emma's colleagues and relatives and the town's busybodies. Naturally, she becomes the prime suspect and quickly turns from archeologist to amateur sleuth, trying to unearth the killer among the relics. Who's the culprit out to inter the project, her career - and possibly Emma?"@en
