A violent past leads to a present danger.
When an old college roommate invites Claire Britten to join her on an archaeological dig at a Florida peat bog, it's an offer the renowned forensic psychologist can't refuse.
Claire's husband, criminal lawyer Nick Markwood, is comforted to see Claire working on a prehistoric burial site instead of an open grave for once.
But Claire's investigative instincts kick in when some of The Black Bog's perfectly preserved corpses show signs of a grisly fate.
What really happened to these people?What started as an exploration of the past soon escalates into an all-too-current danger.
Someone is watching--someone who really doesn't want Claire digging into the past or Nick making connections to a current, violent murder case he's investigating.
The bog's corpses may be long dead, but if Claire and Nick don't figure out who's gunning for a fresh kill, the next bodies to be discovered will be their own.
