Synopsis
If a city is to grow, it is sometimes necessary to go downward first, into the layers of earth and the mounds of detritus left behind like a snake's skin from earlier periods. Usually, there's nothing much to be discovered in the holes that will become the foundation of new buildings: some stones, old wood, broken bottles.
Fifty feet from Wall Street, where New York City began, some urban archaeologists have sifted through the layered years and uncovered the usual and then they found the unusual: the burned bones of a man murdered three hundred years ago.
For magazine columnist Kay Engels, the body, discovered by her friend Vera, might make an interesting story ... if anything can be learned about what happened in the tavern where the murder probably was committed. For the moment, though, the site is just a news item . . . until another very contemporary murder takes place and the story turns deadly.
From Little Moscow in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach to the top of the skyscrapers lifting Manhattan ever higher, Kay digs into the world of real estate development and finance, unearthing a blueprint for murder that now has her name right at its foundation.

From the Author
New York's fascinating history, neighborhoods and crime
I’ve lived in New York City most of my adult life, met my husband and raised my daughters here, but in some ways I remain a small town girl at heart. I am fascinated by New York’s rich history and the endless variety of the experiences it offers. I loved writing Digging Up Death because it gave me a chance to use all those enthusiasms, as well as my life long interest in archaeology. Some interesting secondary characters obligingly turned up on the page, too. Though the crimes could perhaps take place in any city where land is scarce and valuable, I hope I’ve made it a real New York story, as my first book, Murder at the Class Reunion, was, essentially, a "you have to go home again" story. I’m half way through the next one, which will be about the undying impact of 1960’s politics on several lives. I welcome reader’s comments.
