    About this audiobook

    Description: Beijing, 1941: The bones of the famed "Peking Man" are placed in two wooden crates for shipment to the United States to escape the invading Japanese army. New York City, 1970s: a mysterious woman offers to sell the bones to an unknown man on top of the Empire State Building. But when someone takes a photograph, she makes a hasty retreat. San Francisco, 1980s: A frantic stranger named Jimmy calls on noted anthropologist Ellen Christie and shares a scintillating secret with her: he has evidence of the bones in his backpack. But when she visits his Chinatown home, Jimmy must flee with the evidence. As Ellen and Jimmy's brother navigate the city's elite criminals, her dreams of academic stardom draw closer. Unfortunately, so does danger.

      In this reissued (in 2012) novella, San Francisco anthropologist Dr. Ellen Christie is visited by a young social worker, Jimmie, who shows her the skull of what she believes is “Peking Man.” If her spot analysis is correct, the scull and other bones are ancient – and very valuable, both to anthropologists and to less savory sorts. The encounter with Jimmie begins a two-day adventure through Chinatown with Jimmie’s older brother Dan. Dan is looking for his now-missing brother Jimmie, but Dr. Christie is more interested in the bones.Skullduggery was so improbable on so many levels that, had it been a longer book, I would have not have toughed it out to the end. I’m a big fan of Carolyn Hart and have read every book in three of her popular series – Death on Demand, Henrie O, and Bailey Ruth Raeburn. After reading Skullduggery, I’m hoping she spends her time writing those series books.
