But now drought has uncovered the town's forgotten church--along with a gruesome discovery. For down in the dank church basement, Christine stumbles upon the skeletal remains of a body--the grim result of a thirty-year-old murder.

While local officials take advantage of the flood of publicity surrounding the case, Christine takes matters into her own hands--trying to piece together what turns out to be a sordid puzzle from the past. But unraveling the dark secrets of the once close-knit community of Studsburg also reveals a killer who's not afraid to kill again....
