Vanessa Lillie joins us to discuss her new novel The Bone Thief, which features the return of archaeologist Syd Walker, who is called on to investigate when a Native teenager vanishes from her small town—a place with dark ties to an elite historical society. The deeper Syd digs, the more she realizes this is not an isolated incident. But exposing the truth means confronting not just the town's most powerful families, but also a legacy of violence that refuses to stay buried.
