See all formats and editions
When archaeologist Jack Gordon starts a dig in the small mountain town of Renovo, Pennsylvania, he is dragged into a murder case somehow connected to an ancient Indian burial mound. As he tries to get on with his work, Gordon is threatened, shot at, and accused of being the murderer himself. To save his career and his reputation, he has to find out himself whether the mound was real, and, if so, who dug it up and what happened to the very valuable artifacts it must have contained. The more questions he asks, though, the angrier the threats against him become, and the greater the danger to his own life.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good read

    I found the book very engaging and hard to put down. I gave cut a four star rating as most of the writing was pretty prosaic. But then again it's a mystery and did have a good bit of technical archeological jargon which I enjoyed. I recommend this book to anyone with similar interests.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Archeology by an archeologist

    I quite enjoyed Bedell's first venture into mystery fiction.

    I especially liked the narrator educating me on his particular variety of archeology w/o ever being drawn out of the story to be subjected to a lecture.

    The "who" and "why" dunnit were sufficiently baffling, and the sense of place outstanding.

    I hope there's a sequel :)

    Bedell actually does the sort of work the protagonist does, judging by his blog.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good book for a first effort
    Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2020
    The people and settings were familiar. The story was sufficiently convoluted it keeps you guessing until the end. I liked it and recommend it.
