From the Publisher:
Was it murder... or something even more sinister?
Fifteen years ago, a group of young engineers took a winter trip to the New Mexico mountains. When they failed to return home, searchers uncovered a disturbing scene. The group's tent had been slashed open from the inside, as if they had fled in terror. What could have been horrific enough to make nine adults risk their lives in a vicious blizzard?

Despite a diligent FBI investigation, and the discovery of horrifically mutilated corpses, some of the expedition were never found - until now.

Two bodies have been located in a remote cave, one bearing signs of a grisly end. The infamous case remains a job for the FBI, so Agent Corrie Swanson calls in archaeologist Nora Kelly to work with him on yet another macabre mystery. Will Dead Mountain shed its secrets - or live up to its name once more?

The latest pulse-pounding thriller from #1 New York Times bestsellers Preston & Child, perfect for fans of Simon Toyne and David Baldacci.

From the Publisher:
#1 New York Times bestselling authors Preston & Child return in the latest installment of the bestselling series featuring renowned archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson, who investigate a mystery so enigmatic it may have no solution.

In 2008, nine mountaineers failed to return from a winter backpacking trip in the New Mexico mountains. At their final campsite, searchers found a bizarre scene: something had appeared at the door of their tent so terrifying that it impelled them to slash their way out and flee barefoot to certain death in a blizzard. Despite a diligent search, only six bodies were found, two violently crushed and inexplicably missing their eyes. The case, given the code name "Dead Mountain" by the FBI, was never solved.

Now, two more bodies from the lost expedition are unexpectedly discovered in a cave, one a grisly suicide. Young FBI Agent Corrie Swanson teams up with archaeologist Nora Kelly to investigate what really happened on that fateful trip fifteen years ago -- and to find the ninth victim. But their search awakens a long-slumbering evil, which pursues Corrie and Nora with a vengeance, determined to prevent the final missing corpse from ever coming to light.
