Publisher's Synopsis
When workers find a skeleton while demolishing an old house in Norwich, forensic archaeologist Ruth Galloway is called in to investigate. Was it an ancient ritual sacrifice or a murder? The house was an orphanage in 1970, and the priest who ran it offers new clues as he remembers the events of the day. As Ruth's curiosity grows, she won't let anything--not even her pregnancy--get in the way of her solving the case.
