Description
A unique and exciting crime series featuring an academic archaeologist who solves ritualistic and historical crimes.
Grave Intent explores the lives of the women wrongly persecuted for witchcraft in eighteenth century America
Jericho College is closed for the summer break. But professor Carla James is busy teaching a short course to a small group of archaeology enthusiasts.
Keen to get involved with local history, the newcomers become fixated on the century-old grave of Meg Woodthorpe. Killed for being a witch. A single stone sits on the burial site supposedly to prevent her rising again.
And excavations reveal she may have. Meg's body is no longer there. She has been replaced by a modern victim. With no one missing, Carla must work out who this is and where Meg has gone.
Local history meets grisly murder in this dark and atmospheric crime thriller.
