Chapter Fourteen

“Human?” I dropped the bone, but Susan snatched it up before Bogie could. “You have got to be kidding me.”

“Nope.” She was busy examining the bleached object. “I think it’s a metatarsal.”

“Metatarsal?”

“Foot bone.”

“How do you know?”

“I studied archaeology and went on a few digs back in the day.”

Digs. I jumped up from my chair and sprinted over to the hole I had dug, with Susan and an excited Bogie right behind me. Bogie tried to burrow down into the hole again, but I held him back, then knelt and peered into the earthy pit he’d enlarged while we’d been engrossed in conversation.

I saw white.

Susan, who had also dropped to her knees to peer inside the hole, saw it too. “More metatarsals,” she breathed, as she rocked back on her heels. “That’s someone’s foot.”

“There’s a dead body in my yard?”

“More like a skeleton.” Susan got to her feet and brushed off her hands. “We’d better call Chief Beacham.”
