Carol Unger spent her formative years studying the dead, academically speaking. A trained anthropologist, she developed an early fascination with what buried things reveal about the living: how families construct their histories, which stories get preserved, and which get quietly erased. It turns out that’s excellent preparation for writing crime fiction.
Dig is her debut novel. She lives in New York City.
Livvy Beckwith has an unusual relationship with the dead — professionally and otherwise. As a genealogist, she traces family histories through archives and cemetery records. As a grave robber, she occasionally helps herself to whatever was buried alongside them.

Dig is a darkly comic noir thriller for readers who like their mysteries atmospheric, their protagonists morally flexible, and their family secrets lethal.
