Foul deeds lie buried under campus grounds
Jericho College is closed for the summer break. But professor Carla James is busy teaching a short course to a small group of archaeology enthusiasts.
Keen to get involved with local history, the newcomers become fixated on the three-hundred year old grave of Meg Woodthorpe. Killed for being a witch. A single stone sits on the burial site supposedly to prevent her rising again.
And excavations reveal she may have. Meg's body is no longer there. She has been replaced by a modern victim. With no one missing, Carla must work out who this is and where Meg has gone.
A dark and atmospheric crime thriller. Perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths and Kathy Reichs.
