Eyebrows are raised as crime-scene tape drapes across the once distinguished Colonial Bloodworth House. For the mansion, nestled amidst the tranquil academia of Kenan College, may have once been the scene of a brutal murder. When archaeologist David Morgan unearths a decayed body during a dig for Colonial-era artefacts he enlists Professor Simon Shaw for a little detective work. As Kenan College's youngest full-time professor, Simon knows more about the house than anyone. As he digs deeper into this decades-old murder, Simon finds that someone still very much alive wants to put a permanent stop to his investigation.
