Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

She has spent twenty years with the dead. Not one of them has ever made a sound. Until now.Dr Tess Ashburn is a forensic anthropologist. Bones are evidence. Bones are data. Bones do not make noise.Then, at a lectern in Melbourne, in front of three hundred colleagues, one tears through her head like a siren.Eighteen months later she has walked away from her career and told nobody why.What she has left is a dead grandmother's house on Tasmania's convict coast, a pair of leather gloves she never takes off, and a note she should not have thrown away: The house knows you're coming. So do they.Thornhaven is eight hundred people, one pub, and a developer clearing ground beside the ruins of a convict probation station.There are bones in that soil. A heritage assessor gave one of them four hours, four hundred words, and a single verdict: non-significant.Then that bone lands on the bar in front of the only woman in Tasmania who can hear what is inside it.One word. No fear. No pain. A woman refusing something, a hundred and eighty years ago, to a man standing close enough to touch her.Tess knows exactly what happened.She cannot prove a syllable of it. Not without paper: convict registers, a surgeon's too-tidy reports, a magistrate whose signature killed every complaint before it was read, and a death certificate nobody has questioned since 1841.She has one shot at a case a stranger can check, before the excavators go back in and the rest of it disappears for good.And somebody in Thornhaven already knows what is down there.The Unmarked is Book One of The Thornhaven Mysteries, a completed seven-book paranormal cozy mystery series set on Tasmania's Tasman Peninsula, near Port Arthur.Perfect for readers who love: dual timeline historical mysteries - Australian convict and colonial history - a haunted house and a ghost who cannot rest - a forensic anthropologist turned amateur sleuth - small-town cozy mystery with no gore and no cliffhangers.All seven books release through 2026. No waiting years for the ending.
