This was an interesting, suspenseful story from Nora Roberts. Callie lives in Boston and is a young, divorced archaeologist. She's called in as a consultant when an excavation for a new housing development uncovers ancient human remains. While she's excited to join the new project in Maryland, she's upset to find out that her ex-husband has also signed up for the dig. They've only been divorced for a year, so there are still some hard feelings and unresolved issues between the two of them.

The two are joined by others and start unearting remains from 5,000 years ago. At the same time this is going on, her mother sees Callie on t.v. and contacts her. The only problem is that she never met this woman...she has a mother back in Boston and was never told by her family that she was adopted. After digging into her past, Callie learns that she was part of a black market adoption; she was stolen as a one-year old infant and placed with her current parents, who thought everything was legal.

At the same time that she's digging into her past, accidents and later on murder start happening at the excavation site. Rumors are that the land is cursed. But, the evidence points to the fact that somebody doesn't want Callie digging around in her past. She's starting to unravel a mystery that's almost 30 years old, and somebody wants her to stop.

There's friendship, romance, suspense and several different plot threads woven into this story. It'll keep you on your toes and surprise you--all the way to the last page. It's well worth the read!
