Publisher's Synopsis
From New York Times bestselling authors W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O'Neal Gear comes part four in their compelling mystery series packed with ancient myth.
Archeologist Dusty Stewart and Anthropologist Dr. Maureen Cole are still swept up in an eight-hundred-year-old murder mystery that's been pleading with them to solve it-both literally and figuratively. With their only goal being to bring peace to all the victims left behind, they see no end in sight-until the unimaginable happens.
Hearing faint voices of the dead whispering through the darkness of the gravesite and afraid they're no longer alone, the dig team works faster, finally uncovering tribal stories that say the deceased are the work of an ancient witch of unimaginable power.
Across time, a ruthless murderer desperate to restore his wealth and power begins taking villagers one by one. As Stone Ghost finds himself immersed in a bitterly divided and terrified community, the infamous Two Hearts becomes more legend than human, and the question remains: How does anyone track a myth? But when the pieces of the puzzle start falling into place, it becomes clear that those who appear the bravest may actually possess unimaginable darkness.
Will Dusty and Maureen finally solve this ancient crime and put innocent souls to rest before the past collides with the present?
