A violent past leads to a present danger⌠When an old college roommate invites Claire Britten to join her on an archaeological dig at a Florida peat bog, itâs an offer the renowned forensic psychologist canât refuse. Claireâs husband, criminal lawyer Nick Markwood, is comforted to see Claire working on a prehistoric burial site instead of an open grave for once. But Claireâs investigative instincts kick in when some of The Black Bogâs perfectly preserved corpses show signs of a grisly fate. What really happened to these people? What started as an exploration of the past soon escalates into an all-too-current danger. Someone is watchingâsomeone who really doesnât want Claire digging into the past or Nick making connections to a current, violent murder case heâs investigating. The bogâs corpses may be long dead, but if Claire and Nick donât figure out whoâs gunning for a fresh kill, the next bodies to be discovered will be their own.
