Past Malice: An Emma Fielding Mystery
Archaeologist Emma Fielding is brought in to advise on the purchase of a castle-like estate that, according to local lore, is cursed. Her job as a forensic archaeologist is put on hold when she discovers the body of her mentor, an archaeologist, buried somewhere deep within the massive structure she was paid to observe. There are a lot of people out there who want this man dead for various reasons, and Fielding and FBI special agent Jim Conner have to sort through all of them to find out who is responsible.
