Dead Mountain -- Douglas Preston

<p><b>#1 <i>New York Times</i> 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.</b> <p/> 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. <p/> 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. </p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child<br><b>Publisher:</b> Grand Central Publishing<br><b>Published:</b> 04/23/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 416<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.73lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.04h x 5.27w x 1.13d<br
