Description
#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.
In 2008, nine mountaineers failed to return from a winter backpacking trip in the New Mexico mountains. 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. Despite a diligent search, only six bodies were found, two violently crushed and inexplicably missing their eyes. The case, given the code name “Dead Mountain” by the FBI, was never solved.
Now, two more bodies from the lost expedition are unexpectedly discovered in a cave, one a grisly suicide. 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. 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.

1By RdessaureI was a little disappointed on the lack of creativity. I understand from reading the epilogue, that the story was derived from a true event, however I was hoping for more from the main characters. I really enjoyed the previous books from this series, but not so much this one.Dead Mountain Excellent

5By Creutzy1Another excellent story from Preston & Child. Imaginative, suspenseful and thoroughly entertaining. As usual, I’ve read it so fast, I am now a little sad, because I now have wait for the next one. Well done.
