June and her son, David, live a quiet life in a mountaintop village overlooking Florence, Italy. Ever since David's father died, their low-profile lifestyle has been filled with love, learning, and hikes to Florence for groceries and the opera. This suited June perfectly, but not for David, who recently turned eighteen. Using technology enabled him to reach the larger world, leaving him wanting more. He wants to experience all of life! He wants the truth June has prevented him from having. David wants the facts, times, places, and details his mother refuses to share.
David doesn't know his father was a jewel thief or that his parents met while escaping from a diamond theft. In order to hide the truth, June has always fed him alternatives, burying the criminal facts like the dead in the dark, weighted down by gravestones made of lies. He doesn't know the cruel and aging head of the illicit diamond trade has never stopped looking for the gems David's father stole.
Will the dead stay buried?
