Jericho College is closed for the summer break. But professor Carla James is busy teaching a short course to a small group of archaeology enthusiasts. Keen to get involved with local history, the newcomers become fixated on the three-hundred year old grave of Meg Woodthorpe.

Killed for being a witch. A single stone sits on the burial site supposedly to prevent her rising again. And excavations reveal she may have.

Meg's body is no longer there. She has been replaced by a modern victim. With no one missing, Carla must work out who this is and where Meg has gone.
