About the book
Fan favourites Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson return in the new thriller from international bestsellers Preston & Child.
Forced to depart from her position at the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute, Nora Kelly finds herself jobless and with no prospects in sight. However, when billionaire Lucas Tappan offers her the opportunity to lead the excavation of the well-known Roswell landing site, Nora is faced with a decision that could potentially harm her reputation.
Approaching the situation with a hint of skepticism, Nora eventually agrees to pay a visit. Upon observing the initial scans of the area, which suggest the presence of a Native American burial ground, Nora decides to investigate further.
What Nora discovers is not an indigenous burial site, but rather a crime scene that is relatively recent. Among the findings are two deceased individuals, one of whom has suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head and acid has been used to obscure their identities. With the appearance of dead bodies, the case now falls into the jurisdiction of the FBI, leading Nora to enlist the help of Special Agent Corrie Swanson.
As Corrie and Nora delve deeper into the enigma, they are met with more questions than answers. The truth they are seeking proves to be more bizarre than the conspiracy that lurks in the shadows...
