Derby Book Festival – Autumn 2024
Sarah Ward returns to the Festival with a dark new crime series. Set in New England, Archaeology Professor Carla James is reeling following the death of her husband. Desperate for a change of scene, she takes a job at an elite New England college. On her first day, Carla is asked to represent the department at a murder site. She initially believes there is nothing notable about the scattered debris that surrounds the body, but there is more to the case than meets the eye.
This victim is just the latest in a series of unsolved deaths. Nothing obvious links them but Carla is convinced – there is a methodical killer operating in the shadows.
Sarah will be joined by Sarah Tarlow, Professor of Historical Archaeology at the University of Leicester who advised Sarah on the research for her novel and is best known for her work on the archaeology of death and burial. Her memoir, The Archaeology of Loss, was published in 2023.
