Kernels of Truth.... When Eugenia Potter stumbles upon some ancient pottery shards on her ranch, she feels a profound connection with the past. And a deep desire to learn more about the relics. Now, she"s heeding the call of her soul--by visiting an archaeological camp amid the magnificent cliff dwellings of Colorado"s Mesa Verde. But strange things are happening at Mesa Verde, from the director"s increasing mental confusion to a visitor"s grisly death. Even a Talking Circle--a traditional ritual facilitated by the passing around of an ear of blue corn--doesn"t reveal the source of the trouble. And when a busload of teenagers on a hiking trip disappears without a trace, Mrs. Potter begins some digging... to unearth a cruel scheme, a long-buried secret, and the deadly fruits of a killer"s dark hungers.
