Haunted by mystery. Haunted by music. Haunted by murder....

A grisly discovery is made deep in an Irish peat bog -- the perfectly preserved severed head of a red-haired young woman. Has she been buried for decades, centuries, or longer? Who is she and why was she killed? American pathologist Nora Gavin and archaeologist Cormac Maguire are called in to investigate, only to find that the girl's violent death may have shocking ties to the present -- including the disappearance of a local landowner's wife and son. Aided by a homicide detective who refuses to let the missing be forgotten, Nora and Cormac slowly uncover a dark history of secrets, betrayal, and death in which the shocking revelations of the past may lead to murder in the future....

Review:
Refreshing in it's vital excitement, and being so wonderfully researched, reality merges from every page. This is a great new writer with the talent to tell a story with interest and commitment (Bangor Chronicle)

A fascinating mix of archaeology, forensics and local folklore (New Woman)

...an utterly beguiling mix of village mystery, Gothic suspense, and psychological thriller. ...Hart breathes life into local history the way Graham Swift did in Waterland; reinvents the Du Maurier formula for Gothic suspense; and brings new texture and psychological acuity to the usual suspects from the generic viallage mystery. In every way, this is a debut to remember. (Brett Ott, Booklist)

Erin Hart spins a dark tale of gothic suspense fused with modern forensics. This bright new talent
lays bare all the buried bones, in a murderous tale of intrigue and betrayal.

(Linda Fairstein, author of The Bone Vault)

Spooky and compelling. (Kirkus Reviews)

Classic crime (Livewire)

Haunted Ground is an intricate crime novel from a gifted first time author. Erin Hart has interwoven a gripping suspense tale with historical detail, archaeology and forensic science to create this altogether different and incredibly transfixing debut novel (The Irish World)

A fascinating book...she's certainly a talented writer. She does a wonderful job of creating a sense of atmosphere and menace. (Meg Gardiner)

This is a beautiful book. The seetings are perfect: sweetly sinister and intensely atmospheric. I was engrossed from the very start. The writing is rich, the pace excellent, and the story such a curious tangle of bits and pieces that you can't help getting caught up in it. And this makes it all the more satisfying when everything is eventually laid out at the end.

This is Hart's first novel. Her love of Ireland...shows in her writing - it is as unmissable as obviously her potent ability as a writer. This is a book to read and an author to watch."

(Luke Richardson, Crime File.)

Hart writes with a lovely eloquence (New York Times)
Book Description:
