Digger Collins Mysteries Series

Why are all these bodies buried on this Montana mountainside? And who did it? While walking with its owner, a dog unearthed a skull on a popular walking trail in Montana, and that was just the beginning. Just like always, FBI Agent Watson summoned Digger Collins, a forensic anthropologist, to Montana for the bone recovery because Digger is the best. And this case required the best. Digger and FBI Agent Watson have a past, but neither realized the magnitude of their crime scene, yet. After Digger and Watson meet Ellie Masters, another forensic scientist, at a symposium, she jumps at the chance to watch Digger at work. As they recover more bones and identify more victims, the killer becomes agitated. Digger, FBI Agent Watson, and Ellie fight for their lives when the stakes increase, and the killer turns on them.  Can they identify the killer before it's too late? OR is the killer too close to stop?

A brutal killer terrorizes a city as they carve odd shapes into their victim's torso. Ellie meets Detective Harkins, an old friend of FBI Agent Watkins, at a crime scene involving blood spatter, Ellie's specialty. While Digger visits with Ellie, they put their weekend plans on hold as another bloody scene waits for Ellie's observation. Digger tags along as a courtesy but finds himself in the middle of his own investigation involving bone recovery and identification. That's when the two cases collide. Can Digger and Ellie save their relationship when Ellie's old flame joins the hunt?    As the team works tirelessly to identify the killer, it proves difficult as the murders continue, and the killer sets his sights on those trying to end his melee.  Can Digger, Ellie, and the team survive the attempt on their lives, or will the killer complete his picture with their bodies?

Digger drives by the car accident scene of a friend. He knows in his heart that this was no accident. So, when he couldn't let the scene go, he asked FBI Agent Watson for help. Once they joined forces, Watson found a series of murdered scientists who died in a similar manner to Digger's friend. This spurred Digger to find the truth. While searching for the reason for the killings, Digger finds a file, and everything makes sense until a photo falls free. Who is the girl in the photo? The deeper they dig into the deaths, the more they become a target. With Watson lying close to death in a hospital room, Digger must finish this case. Can he find the answers he needs to satisfy his burning question: Why would one's testimony lead to murder?  

A student's plea for help on a school paper late one night had Digger arriving at his lab to help. But he was too late to save the boy because he lay dead on the lab floor. As Digger knelt beside him, checking his pulse, an armed security guard arrived, pointing a gun at his head and arresting him for murder.   He was transported to jail without regard to his plea of innocence, where Digger phoned a friend. Then he waited in a cold cell for FBI agent Watson to show. Once Watson arrived, he had Digger released from his cell, but the judge ordered him to remain under house arrest while the investigation continued. As the evidence grew, putting Digger's freedom in question, his team found a link to a huge human smuggling ring. No one realized how deep this ring would go, but they agreed to follow it until the top leader was captured and put away for life. This investigation was intense and suspenseful as Digger wondered if he would spend the rest of his life in a prison cell. What was the link that started this dreadful murder charge against Digger?
