Book Description
======
Following the acclaimed debut of Old Bones, this second happily
anticipated (Booklist) new thriller in Preston & Child’s series
features Nora Kelly, archaeologist at the Santa Fe Archeological
Institute, and rookie FBI Agent Corrie Swanson, as they team up to
solve a mystery that quickly escalates into nightmare.

A mummified corpse, over half a century old, is found in the cellar
of an abandoned building in a remote New Mexico ghost town. Corrie is
assigned what seems to her a throwaway case: to ID the body and
determine cause of death. She brings archaeologist Nora Kelly to
excavate the body and lend her expertise to the investigation, and
together they uncover something unexpected and shocking: the deceased–
apparently died in agony, in a fetal position, skin coming off in
sheets, with a rictus of horror frozen on his face.

Hidden on the corpse lies a 16th-century Spanish gold cross of immense–
value.

When they at last identify the body – and the bizarre cause of death
–
Corrie and Nora open a door into a terrifying, secret world of ancient–
treasure and modern obsession: a world centered on arguably the most
defining, frightening, and transformative moment in American history.–
