A Rumor of Bones — Beverly Connor

BONES DON'T LIE

Lindsay Chamberlain knew she would be working with bones that summer. A forensic anthropologist, she was a bone expert, and that was why she was invited to participate in the Jasper Creek excavation.

She had not expected, however, to find the body of a woman who had been murdered and buried at the site only fifty years ago. Who was this mysterious victim, and why was a young Caucasian buried at a long-abandoned Indian village?

To complicate matters, more bodies have begun to surface nearby. When Lindsay is called in to identify the victims, she and her crew are drawn into the maelstrom of suspicion, accusation, and terror that slowly rages between those who want the truth unearthed and those who want to bury it again. A Rumor of Bones is the first volume in a series of Lindsay Chamberlain mysteries that always seem to involve long-hidden crimes that have escaped anyone's detection.
