Upon arriving, she hears murmurs of Fontana Liri's strong resistance movement during World War II, and senses the townspeople have a deeply buried secret. But how could that connect to the ancient remains she's been studying? <p/> Just as she's getting her footing in the dig, DCI Nelson appears, unexpectedly and for no clear reason. When Ruth's findings lead them to a modern-day murder, their holidays are both turned upside down, as they race to find out what darkness is lurking in this seemingly peaceful town.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>PRAISE FOR ELLY GRIFFITHS AND THE RUTH GALLOWAY SERIES</b> <br><b>Winner of the Mary Higgins Clark Award <br> Winner of the CWA Dagger in the Library Award</b> <p/> "Galloway is an everywoman, smart, successful and a little bit unsure of herself.
