Résumé :

Paleontologist turned private investigator, Harry Przewalski, excavates the dirty underbelly of people's lives, unearthing sexual betrayals, treachery, fraud and murder buried beneath the science of petrified shards, skin and bones.

Ultimately, he must excavate the nightmares in his own extinct past to keep from being killed. The first installment in the Harry Przewalski series. The second book in the series is Death Spoke.
