After OLD BONES, Nora Kelly, an archaeologist at the Santa Fe Archeological Institute, and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson will once again be delving into a fresh case that calls for both of their expertise in the second "happily anticipated" new thriller in Preston & Child's new series (Booklist).
Following a shoot-out in which Swanson takes part that results in a senior FBI agent suffering serious injuries, Corrie is placed under investigation. Her boss gives her the assurance that she is not at fault and that the negative entry on her record would be removed quickly. However, Corrie manages to overcome her intense remorse.
She takes on a new case as a diversion, involving a fifty-year-old mummified corpse found in a secret enclave at High Lonesome, a long-abandoned ghost town in New Mexico. Out of her element, she soon learns that Nora Kelly, her former enemy turned ally, is needed. Nora discovers the shocking truth—that the deceased was poisoned and died holding a rare relic from outside of High Lonesome—and swiftly becomes her ally.
