Down on the Farm

Naddie works down on the farm. But this isn’t a place that grows vegetables or raises animals. The crops on this farm are the recently deceased. The Body Farm is where doctors and anthropologists work hard to unlock the mysteries of decay and rot. They study the stages of death to help with police investigations and to simply unlock the great unknown. But there are things that should never be known, secrets which should stay buried. Yet, as a new body is brought to the farm, Naddie and her team will soon find out there is more to death than bugs and rigor mortis. She will learn that there are old truths that have been waiting in the shadows, hungry to be found. Life can be born from death, down on the farm.
