From the Back Cover:

“Fantastic forensic detail and an engaging hero … an authoritative, compelling new voice to the forensic mystery” Jeff Abbott, bestselling author of Fear and Panic The corpse of a woman is found in a remote cave deep in the Appalachian Mountains. Lying undiscovered for thirty years, the body has been near-perfectly preserved by the cave's unusual chemistry. Dr Bill Brockton, founder of the University of Tennessee's Anthropology Facility, a.k.a. the Body Farm, is called in to investigate the circumstances of the mummified corpse's death. What Brockton uncovers is a secret with its roots buried deep in the past of the remote mountain community, placing him at the centre of a decades-old feud, and possibly its next victim.
