Our story follows the adventures of a paleoanthropologist named Brian Wegman, a grad student at his wit's end who is called in to investigate a mysterious homicide in his longtime home-away-from-home, the town of Wolfe's Bay. He consults with the local police, using his expertise to help identify some strange footprints and track down the killer. Along the way he will meet old friends, make new enemies, and if he doesn't screw anything up, he might finally finish his PhD – and maybe even become a hero.
