This was an excellent book and I would recommend it to anyone that enjoys other Preston and Child novels. I did not like it as much as some of their other novels though. It took me while to really get into it and it was much slower reading for me than some of their other books like Relic, Still life with Crows, and Brimstone. Still a great book!

Another great thriller. A book you can't put down until you've finished!

Meet Nora Kelly -- who will go on to do great things in the authors' 'The Cabinet of Curiosities' with Agent Pendergast. Child and Preston have a knack for interesting mysteries with a supernatural angle. Unique and wonderful!

This is definitely one of the best non-Pendergast novels by these authors! It deals with archaeology and Anasazi ruins, and brings Nora Kelly and Bill Smithback together for the first time. Very suspenseful (except of course we know that neither Nora nor Bill can get killed!) and well-plotted. Even when you know what's bound to happen, you still can't turn the pages fast enough. A good read!

They did a great job on this one, an excellent read.

By the authors of the FBI Agent Pendergast series, which includes RELIC, RELIQUARY, MOUNT DRAGON, CABINET OF CURIOSITIES; also the novels RIPTIDE and ICE LIMIT. This one will keep you up way past your bed time!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
On an abandoned Santa Fe ranch a young archeologist finds a letter written sixteen years ago yet, mysteriously, mailed only recently. In it her father, long believed dead, hints at a lost city of gold that will make him famous--and rich. Now Nora Kelly is leading an expedition into a harsh, remote corner of Utah's canyon country. Searching for her father and his discovery, Nora begins to unravel one of archeology's greatest mysteries.
A thousand years ago a thriving civilization suddenly and mysteriously vanished. For Nora Kelly and her strife-ridden team of explorers, the answer is at their fingertips. Then the terror explodes . . .

Another thriller from Preston & Child. This one is far from the museum walls, set in the desert of the American West, but it's still the same heart-pounding, page-turning excitement of an eerie mystery this time supported with well-researched information on the Anasazi Indians.

A real Nail- Biter !!!

Fantastic book! I agree, can't go wrong. The Lincoln-Child authors combo is right on, every time!

Can't go wrong with this book if you like Suspense/Adventure and books you can't put down.. Excellent read.

This was a great book - kept me reading long after dark, just to find out what was happening next.

On an abandoned ranch, a young woman finds a letter from her father, written 16 years ago. It leads her to a lost city of gold and to the skinwalkers. Very scary and I couldn't put it down.
