Prepare yourself for an exhilarating journey into the depths of American history with this pulse-pounding thriller from the renowned New York Times bestselling authors, Preston & Child. In this riveting novel, Nora Kelly, a talented young curator at the prestigious Santa Fe Institute of Archaeology, embarks on a life-changing expedition that intertwines the past with present-day horrors.
When historian Clive Benton presents Nora with an extraordinary opportunity to lead an archaeological expedition in search of the enigmatic 'Lost Camp' of the Donner Party, she can't resist the call. This infamous group of 1847 pioneers faced unimaginable challenges when snowbound in the treacherous California mountains, culminating in tales of starvation and cannibalism. With Benton revealing he possesses a long-lost diary detailing the Lost Camp's location, the stakes could not be higher.
As Nora's team journeys into the mountains, they unearth not just relics of the past but terrifying truths that threaten their very lives.

Uncover layers of suspense, fear, and historical revelations in this thrilling read that is perfect for fans of archaeological mysteries and fast-paced crime fiction.

Description:
The latest pulse-pounding thriller from New York Times bestsellers Preston & Child.
Nora Kelly, a young curator at the Santa Fe Institute of Archaeology, is approached by historian Clive Benton with a once-in-a-lifetime proposal- to lead a team in search of the so-called 'Lost Camp' of the tragic Donner Party. This was a group of pioneers who earned a terrible place in American history when they became snow-bound in the California mountains in 1847, their fate unknown until the first skeletonized survivors stumbled out of the wilderness, raving about starvation, murder-and cannibalism.
Benton tells Kelly he has stumbled upon an amazing find- the long-sought diary of one of the victims, which has an enigmatic description of the Lost Camp. Nora agrees to lead an expedition to locate and excavate it to reveal its long-buried secrets.
Once in the mountains, however, they learn that discovering the camp is only the first step in a mounting journey of fear. For as they uncover old bones, they expose the real truth of what happened, one that is far more shocking and bizarre than mere cannibalism. And when those ancient horrors lead to present-day violence on a grand scale, rookie FBI agent Corrie Swanson is assigned the case... only to find that her first investigation might very well be her last.
