Description
FBI agent John Lau travels to Tahiti to investigate the death of the manager at a coffee plantation. The victim was found dead at the bottom of a cliff, with no obvious signs of foul play. However, Lau's suspicions are aroused and he turns to his friend, forensic anthropologist Gideon Oliver, for help. Oliver agrees to assist, but faces resistance from the police and other family members who refuse to grant an exhumation order. As a result, Oliver is forced to sneak into a graveyard under cover of night to examine the body. His examination reveals subtle clues that point to foul play, mistaken identity, and a murderous conspiracy. The investigation uncovers a complex web of human ugliness, with decades-old secrets and motives that have brewed a taste for murder. This is the ninth book in the Gideon Oliver Mysteries series.
