The Scorpion's Tail - (Nora Kelly) by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child (Paperback)

The Scorpion's Tail is a gripping thriller that combines real history with archaeological finds and forensic science, creating a fascinating novel filled with the thrills of an Indiana Jones film.

The book follows two strong female protagonists, Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson, as they team up to solve a mystery that quickly escalates into nightmare.

With a rictus of horror frozen on the corpse's face, the deceased apparently died in agony, in a fetal position, skin coming off in sheets.

Hidden on the corpse lies a 16th-century Spanish gold cross of immense value.

As they identify the body and uncover the cause of death, Nora and Corrie open a door into a terrifying, secret world of ancient treasure and modern obsession.

With praise from Washington Post, Booklist, and Providence Sunday Journal, this is a must-read for fans of Preston & Child's previous works and anyone looking for an exciting new thriller.
