"Susan Wittig Albert's exciting mysteries have been praised as
"unique" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) and "fascinating" (Booklist).
Now, a dead man's bones are uncovered--and Texas ex-lawyer and
herbalist China Bayles must dig into a pair of murders separated by
time but connected by motive..."
When China's teenage son finds some skeletal remains during a
local cave dig--remains that show a not-so-accidental death--it's a
disturbing development. But China doesn't let it distract her from
the opening of the new community theater donated by the elderly
Obermann sisters. Unfortunately, the haughty, bullying Jane
Obermann--and her frail, frightened younger sister--made the
donation with a condition: that the first production be a play
written by Jane about their aristocratic family history.
The premiere party ends with a bang when a ne'er-do-well local
handyman is shot dead by Jane while breaking into the Obermann
estate. It seems like a clear-cut case of self-defense. But China
senses something else going on behind the scenes. Now, the key to
catching a killer might be the mysterious bones in the cave--a clue
from the past that could help China solve a mystery in the
present...
