Dr. Ruth Galloway is called in when builders uncover a skeleton during a café renovation in Norfolk. As her department fights for survival, she and DCI Nelson confront concealed motives and their own complicated bond.

The remains are identified as Emily Pickering, an archaeology student who vanished in 2002. Suspicion falls on her Cambridge tutor and on Cathbad, a close friend of Ruth’s. Each new clue deepens the mystery at the heart of the archaeology circle.

The chase leads from university halls to the Neolithic flint mines at Grimes Graves, where Ruth and Nelson race to find Cathbad and prove his innocence before the past remains buried.
