The Edgar® Award-winning author of Little Tiny Teeth returns with his professor of forensics, Gideon Oliver, a.k.a. the Skeleton Detective. — ?No one does it better than Aaron Elkins,?( San Diego Union-Tribune )?? and this time, Gideon Oliver will be up on the Rock of Gibraltar, where he?ll inspect his oldest bones yet. But a kil... more »ler?s loose?

Around 25,000 years ago, did the Neanderthal live peacefully with his smarter, handsomer cousin, the Homo sapiens? The answer, recently found in the Rock of Gibraltar, left everyone speechless?

Buried ceremoniously, high in a cave, lies the skeleton of a human woman, clutching the skeleton of a part-human, part-Neanderthal child. Fascinated, Professor Oliver jumps at the chance to attend a conference near there. But two deaths, possibly murders, have rocked Gibraltar. As Oliver tries to piece things together, he?s about to fall for some deadly tricks. After all, unlike the Gibraltar Boy, he?s only human?

Another great Gideon Oliver mystery. This one set in Gibraltar. The story line focuses around the Gibraltar Woman and Gibraltar Boy . . . a human woman found cradling a part Neanderthal child. Of course Gideon finds himself caught up in the action of assisting the police as seemingly natural deaths of his peers start mounting up and odd accidents keep happening to him. Now I want to go visit Gibraltar myself!
