Digging Up Bones

Professional genealogist Lonnie Briggs, the great-granddaughter of a legendary evangelist, is blessed with a quiet life on sixty acres near the tiny North Carolina town where she grew up. Lonnie is a loner who prefers the company of her dogs or digging around an old graveyard to spending time with most of the people she knows. It is against her better judgement that she allows herself to be convinced by her high school sweetheart to search for the child that his dying wife gave up for adoption at birth. Almost immediately, Lonnie uncovers secrets she would rather not have known and is led into an emotional minefield she would definitely have preferred to avoid. When the missing child, now a young woman, is murdered, Lonnie's old flame is suspected of committing the deed. Lonnie's involvement in the investigation becomes a matter of life and death, placing her directly in the murderer's path and culminating in an outcome no one believed possible.
