An ancient fossil. And one woman's determination to unravel a nineteenth century mystery. Australia, 1847. The last thing Mellie Vale remembers before the fever takes her is sprinting through the bush, a monster at her heels--but no one believes her. In a bid to curb Mellie's overactive imagination, her benefactors send her to visit a family friend, Anthea Winstanley. Anthea is an amateur paleontologist convinced she will one day find proof that great sea dragons swam in the vast inland sea that millions of years ago covered her property. Mellie is instantly swept up in the dream.1919. When Penelope Jane Martindale arrives home from the battlefields of World War I with the intention of making peace with her father and commemorating the death of her two younger brothers in the trenches, her reception is disappointing. Desperate for a distraction, she finds a connection between a fossil at London's Natural History Museum and her brothers' favorite camping spot and the last place they were seen before falsifying their ages to join the army. But the gorge has a sinister reputation: seventy years ago, six women disappeared from there. So when P. J. uncovers some unexpected remains, it seems as if the past is reaching into the present. She's determined to find answers about what happened all those years ago . . . and perhaps also some closure to the loss of her brothers"-- $b Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Death $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Fossils $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Missing persons $x Fiction. 630 00 $a Mythical creatures $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Paleontologists $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Secrecy $x Fiction. 630 00 $a World War I $v Fiction. 651 1 $a Australia $x Fiction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Cooper, Tea, 1951- $t Fossil hunter $b First Australian Paperback Edition $d [Nashville] : Harper Muse, 2021 $z 9781400237975 $w (DLC) 2021059021 941 $a 14 952 $l BEPA251 $d 20240423010247.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409042829.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20231017011232.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010025030.0 952 $l DHPB993 $d 20230722010242.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20230504010835.0 952 $l GKPC851 $d 20230228021229.0 952 $l SXPC124 $d 20230228012115.0 952 $l SWPB124 $d 20230218010946.0 952 $l EGPB605 $d 20230121092048.0 $m 53404 952 $l ENPC715 $d 20221216010042.0 952 $l HOPC845 $d 20221206011655.0 952 $l CIPB482 $d 20221101010142.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20220830013127.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2FA3A876282911EDB3AB225246ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
