Death Assemblage - Susan Cummins Miller - Bog

The first of the Frankie MacFarlane Series, Death Assemblage is a multilayered mystery nestled in the mountains of Nevada -- just west of Pair-a-Dice.The mountains hold mysteries -- geological, historical, and personal. Geologist Frankie MacFarlane has mapped the rocks of the range for the past three summers. In the final week of her dissertation fieldwork, she searches for an elusive final key to her research: a limestone marker bed -- a death assemblage -- hidden by dangerous, shifting talus. But as Frankie strives to piece together her geologic jigsaw puzzle, she is embroiled in a web of ancient and recent murders, a manhunt, kidnappings, and blackmail.
