On a divided island, the dead tell stories.

Nuray is a journalist. Some call her a troublemaker. Or a sleuth with a knack for finding the hidden graves of the missing.

Haris has spent a lifetime avoiding the truth about his father’s disappearance. When Nuray reaches out for help on the case, he wants nothing to do with her. To him, she’s the enemy. Then forensic archaeologist Elena Wilkins, estranged from her family and seeking a new life, arrives on the island and starts digging for clues.

A body is buried. A truth hidden. Someone will do anything to keep it that way.

Nuray, Haris, and Elena must navigate lies, betrayal and their own entangled pasts to uncover the secrets that lie beneath their feet.

From the award-winning novelist of The Spice Box Letters, comes a very modern mystery about bones from the past, and a heart-warming tale of generational trauma and healing.
