In this thrilling mystery, "brilliant, feisty, independent" forensic
archaeologist Ruth Galloway and DCI Harry Nelson investigate a seemingly
cursed collection of Aboriginal skulls that are causing people to die
from a mysterious fever--and the next person to fall ill is Nelson
himself (Richmond Times-Dispatch).
When Ruth Galloway arrives to supervise the opening of a coffin
containing the bones of a medieval bishop, she finds the museum's
curator lying dead on the floor. Soon after, the museum's wealthy owner
is also found dead, in his stables.
DCI Harry Nelson is called in to investigate, thrusting him into Ruth's
path once more. When threatening letters come to light, events take an
even more sinister turn. But as Ruth's friends become involved, where
will her loyalties lie? As her convictions are tested, Ruth and Nelson
must discover how Aboriginal skulls, drug smuggling, and the mystery of
the "Dreaming" hold the answers to these deaths, as well as the keys to
their own survival.
