When PI Quint Mitchell volunteered to help with an archaeological survey in
St. Augustine, he didn't count on digging up a murder victim. In the nation's
oldest city, Mitchell discovers links to ancient sins, comes face to face with
his own past, and unleashes powerful forces that will do anything to keep
their secrets-even if it means taking his life.
In this award-winning debut mystery, author Parker Francis taps into an
undercurrent of violence hidden behind the sleepy facade of the historic town.
When Mitchell's friend, the City Archaeologist, is charged with a brutal
murder, he must find the true killer while fighting inner demons and the
corrosive residue of racial violence dating back to the Civil Rights Movement.
As he learns, St. Augustine was birthed in blood-Matanzas means "place of
slaughter" in Spanish-and violence is never far from the surface.
