Old Bones - (Nora Kelly) by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child (Paperback)

The #1 New York Times bestselling authors Preston & Child bring you Old Bones, a thrilling novel of archaeology, history, murder, and suspense.

Nora Kelly, a young curator at the Santa Fe Institute of Archaeology, is approached by historian Clive Benton with an 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.

But as Nora and her team 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.

With their signature blend of history, archaeology, and thrilling suspense, Preston & Child deliver an unforgettable read that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
