Ruth and Nelson are working so hard to clear one of their own when the bones of a missing lady are found, which causes them to finally face their affections for one another.
after archaeologist Dr. Ruth Galloway is called in after workers find a human skeleton while remodeling a café, she is distracted by her department's impending closure and her tangled relationship with DCI Nelson. The bones seem to be contemporary—they belong to Emily Pickering, a young student of archaeology who vanished in 2002. Ruth's friend Cathbad, an archaeology enthusiast who was there at the gathering the weekend before Emily vanished, and Emily's Cambridge instructor quickly come under suspicion.
Nelson and his crew search for a connection between the archaeology group and the café where Emily's bones were discovered, and as they do so, they discover a complex web of ties inside the group. Then Cathbad vanishes, just as the group looks to be making headway. Ruth follows the route to Grimes Graves, which leads to Neolithic flint mines. Will Ruth and Nelson discover the truth in time to rescue their buddy, or will they have to hurry to locate Cathbad and then clear him?
