An old trunk containing the tiny bones of a human baby, plus a mysterious visitor to Nikki Starr’s antique shop involve Dr. Gerald, “Road Kill” O’Connor in a pair of mysteries that not only expose Nikki’s hidden past and put her in danger, but expose her friends, Karen and Ian Hunter’s past as well. Romance is in the air for Nikki Starr and Ray Allen, but Nikki has a dark secret that she has not shared with anyone. Ray is frustrated by her refusal to commit to a relationship with him. A sinister visitor to her shop forces her to tell Ray about her past and seek his help. Then her husband, reported as having died in a fiery car crash, shows up threatening her new life and the lives of those she has come to love. As her friends work to protect Nikki, Road Kill O’Connor is digging away to reveal the sad details about those tiny bones.
Dr. Gerald O’Connor, known to friends as “Road Kill” O’Connor is a retired professor of archaeology and anthropology from Colorado State University. During his career, he became interested in animal skeletal structure and his penchant for collecting road-killed specimens in order to practice the skill of taxidermy earned him his nickname. While watching the news one morning, he hears a report of a skull found along Interstate 90, not far from his home. There is no evidence of a body, only the skull. The only things authorities can tell is that the skull is likely that of an African American woman in her twenties and it has been there for many years. Recalling a cold case in his vast collection of notebooks, O’Connor begins his search for information about this victim. An expert witness for law enforcement throughout his career, O’Connor begins to piece together other missing persons’ cases and a pattern emerges. He concludes a serial killer has been at work for four decades. It’s time this murderer was brought to justice and Road Kill O’Connor is just the man to get the job done.
