When archaeologists Beth Tarrant and Josh Good excavate a ruined chapel at Barbury Abbey they don't expect to uncover a modern mystery too... Finding the tomb of a medieval abbot would mean a lot to Beth - fifty years ago, her grandfather was forced to abandon his own search for the tomb, but nobody knows why. Can Beth finish what he started? As one incident after another threatens to sabotage the dig, Detective Inspector Jeff Lincoln is called in, and when a bungled burglary at the museum turns into murder he finds a shocking link to a case he's already investigating.
