accident deep within a cave.
Lab Lit: Exploring Literary and Cultural Representations of Science
is the first formal, systematic, scholarly investigation of
laboratory literature from the perspective of literary studies. Lab
Lit as a new genre has received a lot of public and media attention
due to its compelling presentation of science practitioners and the
relatable explanations of the scientific advancements that have
shaped modern society and will continue to do so. However, the
genre has been largely overlooked by scholars. This book is an
introduction to the world of science for those who up till now have
been immersed primarily in the world of literature. The anthology
contains essays that discuss Lab Lit novels using a variety of
analytical approaches. It also features theoretical essays that
explore the social and literary backgrounds of Lab Lit and help the
reader position the critical pieces within appropriate contexts.
Archaeologist Lindsay Chamberlain excavates the 1558 wreck of a
Spanish galleon and finds evidence of a murder at sea. As she
discovers clues to the identity of the murderer, her own situation
becomes less tenable because of the presence of modern-day pirates
and two killings possibly related to the excavation. This is the
fourth book in the Lindsay Chamberlain series.
In a seemingly random event, forensic anthropologist Lindsay
Chamberlain is attacked and left for dead. Buried in a shallow
grave in the woods, she manages to escape, although she suffers
from loss of memory as a result of the ordeal. When Lindsay's
memory returns, it is incomplete. She copes with the trauma by
ignoring it, and she allows the authorities to handle the
investigation. As the probe quickly comes to a dead end, however,
the assault looms like a dark cloud over her peace of mind. Lindsay
joins excavations at an 1830s farm site on the edge of the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park. Unlike previous digs where Lindsay
has worked, this site is an unhappy one. Crew members are on edge
and argue among themselves, and the site director takes an instant
dislike to Lindsay. Furthermore, the principal investigator is
under suspicion of murdering a local resident and stealing valuable
papers from her. If that weren't enough, Lindsay and the crew are
lodged in a haunted house, and even though she is the only crew
member who doesn't believe in ghosts, she is the only one who sees
them. When very old sealed lead coffins dating from the 1700s are
discovered, Lindsay becomes so excited with the discovery that she
momentarily forgets her own troubles. However, her relief is
short-lived, for inside one of the coffins are the disturbing
remains of a woman who has something frighteningly in common with
Lindsay. Then when one of the crew disappears, no one but Lindsay
is worried or seems to care. If she doesn't figure out what's
happening around her, she might lose her sanity, or worse, her
life.

Some skeletons just won't stay hidden. No one knows that better
than University of Georgia archaeologist Lindsay Chamberlain.
Still, she is shocked when a skeleton dressed in its Sunday best
falls out of a packing crate that had been stored in a
kudzu-covered shed on her grandfather's farm for more than sixty
years. When other crates are discovered, each containing a stash of
valuable artifacts, Lindsay begins to wonder. Could her beloved
grandfather, a prominent archaeologist, have been a thief, a
looter-even a murderer? As Lindsay struggles with these troubling
questions, she helps a local private investigator locate the wooded
grave of Shirley Foster, a missing faculty member. Lindsay is
sucked into the investigation, which leads to more questions that
answers. Why did Shirley Foster lie to the world about her life?
Who wanted her dead? Secrets and lies loom large in Lindsay's life,
both professional and personal, as she struggles to find solutions
to the mysteries. When artifacts disappear from the university and
she and her students are threatened, the stakes are raised. With
her job, her reputation, and her life on the line, Lindsay must
find a thief and a killer before the police assume she is
ultimately responsible.

In 1558 a Spanish galleon headed for the New World with supplies
for the Spanish colonies was severely damaged in a storm and sank
off the coast of Georgia. Now, inside one of the largest cofferdams
ever built for the purpose of archaeology, Lindsay Chamberlain is
excavating the site on the ocean floor. The new head of the
division of anthropology and archaeology at the University of
Georgia, Francisco Lewis, is staking his reputation on the success
of the project; and John West, Lindsay's friend, is risking his
future and his construction company on the safety of the cofferdam.
For Lindsay, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to understand a
past history that unfolded at sea, not on land. At least one
passenger survived to tell the tale of the ship's voyage and
destruction. His diary, written in code in a mix of Latin shorthand
and archaic Spanish, reveals details of the voyage and describes
his life at sea in the sixteenth century, a treasure of information
for the archaeologists now recovering the remains of the ship. The
pages tell of sea monsters and of another lost ship-a galleon on
its way to Spain loaded with a vast treasure of gold, silver, and
precious jewels.The diary also reveals that a murder occurred on
the journey. Lindsay discovers the remains of the victim, a
skeleton crew of suspects, and the diary-all the clever scholar
needs to solve a crime that occurred more than 440 years ago.
Anxiety takes its toll on the archaeology crew with the ocean and
its pounding waves only two bulkheads away. Modern-day pirates are
on the horizon anxious for the archaeologists to find the treasure,
and a hurricane is headed their way. Adding to the troubles, one of
the bidders for the construction of the cofferdam is found dead
along with a beach bum who had found an emerald-encrusted gold
cross. As tensions and trouble escalate, Lindsay must solve the
murders. Everyone is a suspect. After all, who can resist the
temptation of so much gold?

Lindsay Chamberlain has a problem. People keep finding bodies in
shallow graves and bringing the bones to her. It's not that she
doesn't know what to do with the remains. An anthropologist who
specializes in archaeology, she is an expert in the forensic
analysis of bones.It's the bones of missing children, however, that
disturb her, and lately she's had more than her share of them.
Someone has been abducting young girls in the area for several
years, and their remains have recently been found in shallow graves
in a nearby wooded area. And Lindsay is asked to identify them. A
lot of strange things have happened since Lindsay and her
colleagues from the Anthropology Department at the University of
Georgia first began excavating the Indian settlement at Jasper
Creek. First came the grave robbers and pot hunters, then the
mysterious opposition that jeopardizes their work. After the shady
lawyer who has orchestrated some of the trouble is murdered and
someone attempts to abduct a nine-year-old girl, Lindsay finds
herself in the middle of a crime that took place sixty years
earlier. Because so much time has passed, it looks as if the
murderer will get away with the crime. Can Lindsay provide the
proof needed to bring the killer to justice?
A woman dies under suspicious circumstances, supposedly after
finding evidence of her incarcerated brother's innocence. Now to
prove a possible murder, Diane Fallon must root through the
victim's family secrets--and the many skeletons in her closet.
Original.
With spot-on details, a smart new voice, and ingenious plot twists,
Beverly Connor has been compared to the hottest crime writers on
the scene. Now, she ratchets up the suspense with a brand new
series featuring one of today's most cunning and complex sleuths:
forensic anthropologist Diane Fallon. Her new job as director of
the RiverTrail Museum of Natural History in Georgia takes Diane out
of the game-until a former love and a murdered family bring her
back in.
