BURY YOUR DEAD

Instead of digging up the dead, archaeologist Faye Longchamp's new job will give her the chance to help the living. Though she's heading the group set to uncover the mysteries of the Sujosa people, Faye and assistant Joe Wolf Mantooth discover they aren't welcome at the settlement in rural Alabama. Especially after a suspicious fire claims the life of the team's oral historian.

Did Dr. Carmen Martinez stumble onto something in the Sujosa's origins worth killing for? With the skills she's honed as an archaeologist and on the black market, Faye digs through the clues: compromised digs, new money and long-buried secrets. When another death rocks the community, she must unearth the truth before the killer lays to rest one last victim -- Faye herself.
