Return to Maidenwell—where digging up the past can be murder. In the quaint Oregon village of Maidenwell, Gina Biletti’s life takes an unexpected turn when human bones are unearthed at a construction site. This chilling discovery resurrects old stories about the Yeechee cult, which had occupied the village during the late 1980s. The cult was not only tied to some still-unsolved crimes but was also rumored to be on the hunt for a fabled Gold Rush-era treasure. Charged by her secretive boss Matthias Loneskum with unearthing the truth about the bones before the media starts sniffing around, Gina once again finds herself thrust into the role of amateur sleuth. Yet, as she digs deeper, it’s clear that the treasure the Yeechee were after is more than mere legend—and that someone is willing to kill for it. Can Gina solve the mystery before the whispers of the past demand her silence—permanently? Get ready for a suspenseful, fast-paced journey filled with humor, heart, and more twists and turns than Gina’s well-used wine corkscrew.

“Rich with telling detail and a deep feeling for time and place,”* Judith Rock¹s historical mysteries are "a great mix of mystery, excitement and intrigue...a truly excellent series.”** Paris, 1687. The last thing Jesuit Charles du Luc and his elderly confessor expect to find in an ancient crypt is a newly murdered body. Even more troubling, the shock of discovering the victim—a young man about to enter their order—proves too much for Charles’s companion. Vowing justice, Charles wants nothing more than to discover the killer, but is unexpectedly restrained from investigation. At the same moment, a fellow soldier has also entered the Jesuit Novice House, bringing Charles’s worst battlefield secret back to haunt him. And when another Jesuit disappears from the college of Louis le Grand and Charles himself is attacked, he begins to wonder whether there might be something more sinister afoot. All signs point to someone targeting Jesuits—and not even an ex-soldier like Charles may be able to escape...

No one knows who she is or why she’s there, and the stranger won’t talk…except to one person: Gina Biletti. As the intruder unveils her secrets, Gina finds herself embroiled in a complex plot of intrigue and peril involving a vanished Native American girl and a cryptic clue that lures Gina beyond Maidenwell’s borders and into a journey fraught with danger.
