Was it murder... or something even more sinister? 'Sit back, crack open the book and get ready for the ride of your life.' David Baldacci on Preston and Child Fifteen years ago, a group of young engineers took a winter trip to the New Mexico mountains. When they failed to return home, searchers uncovered a disturbing scene. The group's tent had been slashed open from the inside, as if they had fled in terror. What could have been horrific enough to make nine adults risk their lives in a vicious blizzard? Despite a diligent FBI investigation, and the discovery of horrifically mutilated corpses, some of the expedition were never found - until now. Two bodies have been located in a remote cave, one bearing signs of a grisly end. The infamous case remains a job for the FBI, so Agent Corrie Swanson calls in archaeologist Nora Kelly to work with him on yet another macabre mystery. Will Dead Mountain shed its secrets - or live up to its name once more? The latest pulse-pounding thriller from #1 New York Times bestsellers Preston & Child, perfect for fans of Simon Toyne and David Baldacci. 'Excellent.'
