Ireland, 1981: Death looms over Fergus's first summer out of high school. His brother, Joey, a convicted member of the IRA, has joined a hunger strike in prison. That same week, while digging for peat in the mountains by his home, Fergus discovers the body of a girl, murdered and buried hundreds of years ago. Soon, the girl, dubbed Mel, is haunting Fergus's dreams, and Fergus is helping an archaeologist and her teenage daughter uncover Mel's story. Author's note. Winner of the 2009 Carnegie Medal.
