Winner of the Malice Domestic/St. Martin's Press Best First Traditional Mystery Award
Forensic historian Simon Shaw likes his murders old and cold, and his first case fits the bill. An archeologist friend has found a skeleton with a bullet hole in its skull under historic Bloodworth House, and Simon investigates with his usual doggedness until he discovers that the corpse is Anne Bloodworth, an heiress who disappeared in 1926. Shaw feels compelled to find out who killed her. But this turns out to be more than an academic exercise when someone who wants to hide past secrets tries to murder him!
"Shaber charms us with her personable prof and her warm, vibrant portrait of small-town Southern life."
—New York Times Book Review

Murder most archeological. While searching for artifacts in the aptly named Bloodworth House, Professor Simon Shaw--young, gifted, and Pulitzered--comes upon a less-than-colonial corpse. Could she be the long-missing heroine Anne Bloodworth and can Professor Shaw sort things out and give his students their money's worth? Fans of gentle mystery and Southern civility should opt for Simon Said.
Sarah R. Shaber lives in North Carolina. Simon Said won the St Martin's Malice Domestic Award, and is the first of her crime novels to be published by Robert Hale.
