Overview: When a construction crew unearths a skeleton in an unmarked grave, there is speculation that it might be the remains of a long-forgotten settler, or even a Native American. Whoever it was, the discovery of a bullet hole in the back of the skull reveals that death was not by natural causes. And why was a silver cross found in the grave?
Even though forensic investigators determine the victim was killed at least half a century ago, Sheriff Jim Weber launches an investigation to determine who the murdered man was and how he ended up in his lonely grave. Assisted by his deputies, FBI Special Agent Larry Parks, and young newspaper reporter Jennifer Shores, the search for the truth takes Weber to a neglected cemetery, a ranch house in New Mexico, and a Catholic church where the priest in charge refuses to discuss the matter.
Along the way he learns of a possible scandal involving a young priest and a single mother, of a ghostly local legend of a mad woman spotted running naked through the night forest screaming at the moon, and neglected children caught in the middle of the chaos.
Meanwhile a land developer used to running roughshod over people to get his way wants the investigation over so he can proceed with his latest project, and some members of local government wonder why the sheriff is wasting resources on a crime that happened so long ago. But there is no statute of limitations on murder, and no way Weber is going to back off until he has the answers he seeks.
