Fan favourites Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson return in the new thriller from international bestsellers Preston & Child.

Forced to leave her post at the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute, Nora Kelly is left without a job and without any prospects. So when billionaire Lucas Tappan invites her to lead his excavation of the infamous Roswell landing site, she has no choice but to make a decision that could destroy her reputation.

Armed with a healthy dose of scepticism, Nora reluctantly agrees to visit. When the preliminary scans of the area reveal a suspected Native American burial site, Nora takes a closer look.

But this is no indigenous burial site. It's a crime scene, and a recent one at that. Nora uncovers two dead bodies, one with a bullet hole in its skull, acid used to conceal the identities. Dead bodies mean this has become a case for the FBI, and Nora knows just the person to investigate – Special Agent Corrie Swanson.

As Corrie and Nora dig deeper into the mystery, they will uncover more questions than answers. And the truth they seek will be even stranger than the conspiracy it hides behind...

'Down-to-earth action tackles an otherworldly mystery in this devilishly plausible yarn' KIRKUS starred review

Review

The two strong female protagonists [Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson] share a dynamic reminiscent of that between Pendergast and his friend on the NYPD, Vincent D'Agosta.

About the Author

The thrillers of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child stand head and shoulders above their rivals (Publishers Weekly). Preston and Child's Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities were chosen by readers in a National Public Radio poll as being among the one hundred greatest thrillers ever written, and Relic was made into a number-one box office hit movie. They are coauthors of the famed Pendergast series, and their recent novels include The Scorpion's Tail, Crooked River, Old Bones, and Verses for the Dead. In addition to his novels, Preston writes about archaeology for The New Yorker and National Geographic magazines. Lincoln Child is a Florida resident and former book editor who has published seven novels of his own, including such bestsellers as Full Wolf Moon and Deep Storm.

Cynthia Farrell, an Earphones Award-winning narrator, is a singer and voice actor best known for her roll as Catalina in the video games Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. She has also performed off Broadway and has released a number of records.

Another great read!

Love the characters of Corrie and Nora. Great to see such formidable female personalities . Not sure about the alien angle but enjoyed the story immensely despite it. These two are giving Pendergast and Coldmoon a run for their money.

Very enlightening about UFOs, don't want to spoil anything. This was a great continuation of the Nora Kelly series. Like all of their books, brilliantly written.

Oh this is getting boring in its sameness..take a step back and look at the whole 3 books, same same same, can you seriously charge for the third book.and your comments about the British puts me right of..unnecessary.....so now I will go back and continue to enjoy the scandi writers, who have in most cases so much more talent..and are much more entertaining and obviously use more effort than these books pumping out samness

Good story but not too sure about the end.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 February 2022

I have thoroughly enjoyed the two previous Nora Kelly books but this did go out on a limb. Still well written and no regrets at reading it but I would have preferred the end to have been more a great archaeological find rather than an alien artifact. Perhaps if the authors note reviews, they might go back to the fascinating archaeological thread while bringing in a detective mystery of just a secret Indian city of similar rather than science fiction.

extremely readable

The returning characters continue to develop and several new characters are excellent creations. The story follows a pattern of plots within plots and a nasty evil entity trying to thwart every line of enquiry.
I love the combination of archaeology, forensics and detective work that blend together to exceed the sum of their parts.

Good storyline which borders on drifting into fantasy but redeems itself with a clever ending.
