As a Vermont winter thaws into spring, the snow-dusted body of history professor Elaine Bliss is discovered near a woodland trail. Called upon to help state police interpret the murdered woman's scholarly work, historian Liam Dutra turns up evidence of dark deeds from the past, revealing mysteries within mysteries--beginning with the enigmatic 1925 diary of Rosa Marcotti , a working girl in the Montpelier granite sheds.And it's not long before Liam's effort to shed light on forgotten crimes brings present-day dangers all too close to home.Rich with unforgettable characters and a weave of mystery, history, outdoor adventure, and deeply-observed evocations of Vermont landscape and lore, this fourth novel in the series takes the reader on a surprising and suspenseful journey into New England's layered past and present.
