Words: 3147 · Source Novel:: The Charnel Verdict

Dr. Evelyn Helms arrives at the Westhaven Moor dig, fresh from her courtroom victory over Marcus Broton, who slandered her as a fraud. Led by her revered mentor, Professor Harold Crawford, the team uncovers the “Barrow of the Seven,” a mass grave with skeletons showing signs of ritual execution. That night, team financier George Pender is found dead in his tent, his body arranged exactly like one of the ancient victims. Accidental death is assumed, but Evelyn notices the pose matches her own defamation exhibit photo.
