Your goal: Justice for the dead. A small village in Guatemala: When forensic expert Tempe Brennan descends into the well shaft, she suspects that a gruesome discovery awaits her at the bottom. Decades ago, the bodies of over twenty residents of a small village were buried here—women and children who had been coldly executed by a military command. Even as the victims of the massacre are being recovered, Brennan realizes that the powers in Guatemala, then as now, are hiding a terrible secret. But not only is justice for the dead at stake; Tempe's life is suddenly in danger as well.
