An entertaining mystery involving nine missing mountaineers.
What happened to the college students who went on a winter backpacking trip into the Manzano Mountains? Sure, conditions were brutal in the high New Mexico mountain range but they were experienced and well provisioned. Something made them flee from their tent out into a blizzard and certain death. A search and rescue effort found 6 of them -- with some disturbing injuries. The case went cold, and the FBI put it on the back burner.
Years later, in a cave that also contained ancient remains of Pueblos, two additional bodies are recovered. FBI Agent Corrie Swanson and Nora Kelly, an archeologist, team up to investigate, examine the new evidence, and analyze the events of that fateful camping excursion.
I really love the writing style and these characters. This is the 4th in the series and although it could be read as a standalone, I think it best to read them all, in order. The unlikely pair of Corrie and Nora make a great team despite their personalities and different backgrounds. The combination of law and order with archeology is a good fit especially with historical mysteries. The plot and ensuing discoveries were quite interesting, and the pace was fast. Looking forward to the next installment.
Thank you to Grand Central Publishing for the e-book ARC to read, review, and recommend. The entire series is excellent.
This is the 4th in a series that should be read in order.
