Grave Intent

Foul deeds lie buried under campus grounds. 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 three-hundred-year-old grave of Meg Woodthorpe, killed for being a witch.

A single stone sits on the burial site, supposedly to prevent her rising again. 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 Meg's body is no longer there—she has been replaced by a modern victim.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.

Grave Intent is a dark and atmospheric crime thriller, perfect for fans of Elly Griffiths and Kathy Reichs.
