She has investigated human-rights violations for the United Nations, testified as an expert witness in The Hague and across North America, and written an authoritative forensic anthropology text.

In her latest, Black River Road (Goose Lane), a group of teenagers discover two badly decomposed bodies outside of the bustling port city of Saint John in 1869.
