North Carolina history professor Simon Shaw's reputation as a forensic researcher takes a bizarre twist when he is asked to look into the death of a baby girl-by the woman who believes she buried her nearly a hundred years ago. Now in her late twenties, Helen Williams has had flashbacks of another life since she was small. She is convinced she's either insane or is remembering pieces of what she did as a woman named Annie Evans, who lived in Raleigh in 1910. Simon is skeptical, and doesn't believe in reincarnation, but reluctantly agrees to do some digging and see if he can resurrect a life he is sure didn't exist. But Annie did exist-and so did her secrets. And so does someone here and now who does not want them found...and will commit murder to keep them in the grave.

Simon Shaw travels to Pearlie Beach, North Carolina to spend Thanksgiving vacation with his friends, David Morgan, an archeologist, Marcus and Marianne Clegg and their three younger children, and his former crush Julia McGloughlin, a police attorney. Simon is expecting to spend Thanksgiving vacation working and preparing for the finals week that's ahead, but is talked into solving another mystery of the past. Simon, Morgan, and Julia try to find the missing links between a diver's suit that is dredged from the water, a dark family secret, and confederate gold. Reviews “Sarah Shaber ‘s obvious strengths as a writer are clearly demonstrated in Snipe Hunt. The plot is unique and her knowledge of North Carolina history extensive. Not only does she manage to weave details of North Carolina’s participation in the Civil War into her story, but also the state’s importance in World War II plays an active role. The method by which Ms. Shaber ties the events of the two wars to the present day is really quite clever. The author ably demonstrates her wry sense of humor. One statement in particular, seems to merit quoting. Simon is speculating on possible situations that fit the facts they have pertaining to the case, saying, “I’m a scholar. I can make facts fit any scenario I want.” -Andy Plonka “An appealing cozy, which pleasingly mixes regional history and lore, a bit of romance and a soupcon of suspense.” -Publishers Weekly An Alternate Selection of the Mystery Guild
