In the tenth Ruth Galloway mystery, Ruth is invited to the Italian countryside to help identify bones found in the tiny hilltop town of Fontana Liri. Upon arriving, she senses the townspeople are dancing around a deeply buried secret. But how could that be connected to the ancient remains she’s been studying?

Ruth is just beginning to get her footing in the dig when she’s thrown off-guard by the appearance of DCI Nelson. And when Ruth’s findings lead them to a modern-day murder, their holidays are both turned upside down, and they race to find out what darkness is lurking in this seemingly picturesque town.
