Paleontologist turned private investigator, Harry Przewalski, excavates the dirty underbelly of people’s lives, unearthing sexual betrayals, treachery, fraud and murder buried beneath the science of petrified shards, skin and bones. Ultimately, he must face a brutal killing in his own past, when he fled to a desert war and came back with a gun and a license to detect.
The Bone Field
In his first case, The Bone Field, Przewalski chases a missing paleontologist across 80 million years of intrigue and death, from a Wyoming bone field of petrified skeletons to the bone rooms of the museum.
Death Spoke
In his second case, Death Spoke, the murder of an expert on prehistoric cave art immerses Przewalski in a famous painted cavern in France, a World War II atrocity, an archaeological fraud, and a diabolical act of revenge. Przewalski excavates the deadly archaeological layers of the case finding lives torn by deceit, vendetta and redemption.
The Camel Driver
In the third book in the series, a world-famous museum diorama, Arab Courier Attacked by Lions, is vandalized—the glass smashed, the belly of the taxidermied camel slit open, a bundle removed. Who is the Berber atop the camel? Are his skeleton and skin preserved under his clothes? Harry Przewalski uncovers the macabre history of Arab Courier: a lurid, sexual trial in South Africa, a secret journal in the Paris Museum, a Neanderthal child, and an archaeological bombshell worth killing for.
