What were four skeletons doing in a pit out at the Bristol Square construction site?
Detective Danny Williams along with her lover, Monica Wilks-Jordan, take on the case though for different reasons. Danny becomes the lead detective in the multiple homicide investigation by being in the right place at the right time. It doesn't hurt that she is simply good at her job. Monica is a sometime journalist turned to blogging who is on the case because she happens to live with Danny and desperately needs a story. That their needs are mutually exclusive becomes painfully obvious. The major issue for both Danny and Monica is why would four bodies disappear and no one seem to notice? It is as if these four people fell off the edge of the world in 1967.
As the two women begin to pursue the identities of the skeletons with Dr. Chan Li, the state pathologist, it becomes clear that the skeletons came to the pit from different backgrounds and circumstances and have been buried for nearly 50 years. Clouding the issue are two retired police officers who clearly know more about the case than they are willing to admit and are determined to prevent Danny from associating them with the skeletons.
Chan Li and his team of pathologists sift through evidence gathered from the pit and pass their findings on to Danny who, with often uninvited help from Monica, begins to identify the skeletons. Each skeleton has a unique story that is revealed as it is associated with the artifacts found in the pit. The picture that emerges is of a violent social and racial environment little different from today in many ways.
