The thrillers of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child "stand head and shoulders above their rivals" ( Publishers Weekly). But their search awakens a long-slumbering evil, which pursues Corrie and Nora with a vengeance, determined to prevent the final missing corpse from ever coming to light. Young FBI Agent Corrie Swanson teams up with archaeologist Nora Kelly to investigate what really happened on that fateful trip fifteen years ago-and to find the ninth victim. Now, two more bodies from the lost expedition are unexpectedly discovered in a cave, one a grisly suicide. The case, given the code name “Dead Mountain” by the FBI, was never solved. Despite a diligent search, only six bodies were found, two violently crushed and inexplicably missing their eyes. At their final campsite, searchers found a bizarre scene: something had appeared at the door of their tent so terrifying that it impelled them to slash their way out and flee barefoot to certain death in a blizzard. In 2008, nine mountaineers failed to return from a winter backpacking trip in the New Mexico mountains. #1 New York Times bestselling authors Preston & Child return in the latest installment of the bestselling series featuring renowned archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson, who investigate a mystery so enigmatic it may have no solution.
