About the Book — Present day: Julia Hamill makes a horrifying discovery on the grounds
of her new home in rural Massachusetts: a skull buried in the rocky soil–human, female, and,
according to the trained eye of Boston medical examiner Maura Isles, scarred with the unmistakable marks of murder
long ago... Boston, 1830: to pay for his education, medical student Norris Marshall has joined the ranks of local
“resurrectionists”–those who plunder graveyards and harvest the dead for sale on the black market. Norris now finds
himself the prime suspect in a series of grisly murders. Joined by a sardonic young man named Oliver Wendell
Holmes, Norris sets out to prove his innocence and track down a maniacal fiend--party of the dark mystery reaching
across centuries to the present-day world of Julia Hamill.

Go-To for Mysteries
Jim lives in Bluffton and regularly visits the library because of
his love of books. Since retiring from the post office, he’s had
more time to read his favorite genre: mysteries. Jim takes an
unusual approach to his reading and is open to any mystery
novel, regardless of subject or topic. Basically, he started in
the “A” section of fiction and pulled any book with a mystery
label and continued down the line. Right now, he’s about half
way through to authors with a last name beginning with “M”.
Jim has found some “very interesting books” this way; one’s
he might never had discovered otherwise. Some of his
favorites include:
Authors: Lawrence Block and Elizabeth George
Free MP3 Music
There have been some exciting changes to our downloadable
music service Freegal, which allows you to download (and then
keep) 3 songs a week with your library card for free.
 Recently the content available has doubled to more than
7 million songs! Music videos are also available.
 There is a brand-new interface, new search engine, better
browsing options, and the ability to make wishlists.
 Now you can backup songs downloaded into the Freegal Music
app on your iTunes. Get the app on Apple and Android devices.
Check out this great service at wellscolibrary.freegalmusic.com.
Books: “The Sleepwalkers” by Paul Grossman and
“Manslaughter” by Parnell Hall. Though he’s not picky and
loves most mysteries!
Why he likes mysteries: the authors who write fiction
always have a “nugget of truth” to their stories, but the
books aren’t too detailed that they get boring to read.
TV Shows: Monk, Columbo, and anything with interesting
lead characters!
