To some, the dead are a commodity. For Tempe Brennan, they hold the key to cracking a horrific crime ring.Among the ancient remains in a Native American burial ground, Tempe discovers a fresh skeleton — and what began as an ordinary teaching stint at an archeology field school in Charleston, South Carolina, fast becomes a heated investigationinto an alarming pattern of homicides.
