• Mystery + History: Combines archaeology with a modern thriller — not your run-of-the-mill detective story.
• High Stakes: Development, corporate greed, the sanctity of burial grounds, potential danger to Chessie and her team.
• Strong Female Lead: Chessie is smart, driven, but also vulnerable.
• Rich Setting: Florida ranch, ancient sites, dig sites — very evocative.
• Suspense Built In: You don’t just wonder who did it, but why — and what they’re trying to hide. amzn.to/4237jND
