Past Malice: An Emma Fielding Mystery

Archaeologist Emma Fielding is hired to consult on the acquisition of an 18th-century castle estate that local legend states is cursed. But she finds herself in the middle of a murder case after discovering the body of the archaeologist she was hired to shadow in a secret chamber in the bowels of the vast building. Assisted by her friend, FBI agent Jim Conner, Emma must sift through clues and a long list of suspects, each of whom has their own reason for wanting the man dead, to discover the killer.—NatZee
