Description

Professor Lamb – Lizzie – has dug up the jawbone of a rare ancient human in a remote African valley. Now the vultures of the fossil-hunting world are flying in, desperate to find more. One of the first to arrive is murdered. Was the ancient jawbone behind the death? Was it a case of mistaken identity? Or was the dead man mixed up in something far more disturbing – and dangerous?

The murder is just the beginning. As a wave of crime threatens to engulf the valley, Lizzie is determined to stop it in its tracks with the help of the eccentric boss of the local national park.
