Sequestered in a tiny cottage on the edge of a remote English Saltmarsh, Ruth Galloway’s humdrum life as a professor of archaeology at the University of North Norfolk is about to take an exciting turn. She is jolted from her solitude by the discovery of a set of bones not far from her isolated home. As a forensic archaeologist, she is asked to examine them by Detective Chief Inspector Harry Nelson.
