About this listen

When the body of a baby is found wrapped in a swan's wing deep in the woods, archaeology professor and expert consultant Carla James is brought in to assist on the case. The unusual burial must signify something, but what exactly is unclear.

Meanwhile, a student from Jericho College has gone missing. Police say she left of her own accord, but this doesn't seem right to Carla. The young woman didn't tell anyone she was leaving. No one has heard from her since. And she's not the first student to disappear.

As Carla delves further into both cases, she finds a rotten history beneath both the college's and the town's facade, perpetuated by lies and cover-ups. How deep does the corruption go?

Another riveting tale of academic life and the threat to students beyond exams.
Wonderfully narrated to bring the characters into perspective this is a harrowing mystery that tries to expose a close knit society in and around the college and the town of Jericho in New England.
Two separate stories collide and conflate that perhaps reveal dark secrets into the societies and sorority groups that historically captured students’ interest.
As before the catalyst and main driving force into unravelling the mysteries is a college professor, Carla James an outsider who when she confronts a closed door just has to push.
Great reading and a superb listening experience.
