The Weight Of The Dead

By S A Morris

The dead should never be disturbed.

But some graves refuse to stay buried.

Months after a violent storm uncovers a historic cemetery in the

Green Mountains of Vermont, the work of identifying the displaced

dead continues inside a temporary morgue. Then one sealed

nineteenth-century coffin contains a discovery no one can explain.

Curled in the arms of a young woman who died more than a century

ago is the body of a little girl whose death is painfully recent.

For game warden and part-time constable Nate Briggs, the

discovery raises impossible questions. No child has been reported

missing. There is no obvious connection between the two victims,

separated by generations. And whoever placed the girl inside that

coffin was not concealing a crime.

As Nate follows a trail that winds through forgotten history and the

uneasy folklore of Parker's Gore, he finds himself confronting a case

unlike any he has investigated before. It is rooted not in greed or

revenge, but in a dangerous conviction that the past can be made

whole.

In a town where history is never entirely buried, the truth carries a

weight all its own.
