Overview

"A pre-dawn phone call reporting a brush fire leads Marty to a shallow grave...to charred bits of a wooden cross and a corpse that had once been David Goldstein. Goldstein, a musician, was married to a black woman, and Marty is afraid the killing means the Ku Klux Klan is on the prowl again in the southern Indiana hills. She wants to follow up on the case - but the sheriff has other ideas for his old friend's little girl." "He wants her to investigate Judge Denton's claims that someone is trying to kill him - and since the judge is dying from natural causes, a series of brain tumors that have made him all but incoherent, Marty feels she's been fobbed off on a politically motivated dead end. But then the judge indicates that the threat comes from his long-lost daughter, Phyllis, who disappeared when she was thirteen. On a cryptic hint from the judge's wife, Marty seeks help from Professor Wolfe, an enigmatic biologist specializing in cave fauna. From their first meeting, she gives Marty a unique perspective... startling insights into cycles of deep time and the nature of things that live in darkness. Wolfe's answers direct Marty to a cave, deep in the Indiana limestone, where a shocking discovery reveals links to the still-unsolved murder of David Goldstein."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
