Dead Mountain by Preston and Child

It was fun to talk to one half of the great New York Times #1 bestselling writing team: Preston & Child about their new book: DEAD MOUNTAIN.

Lincoln Child joined me to talk about the 4th book in their Nora Kelly series, featuring renowned archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson. The latest mystery is lots of fun. Ever since I read Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile, I have loved archeological mysteries. Add the element of FBI protocols and you have one great read. 

Douglas Preston is also the author of the award-winning nonfiction book The Lost City of the Monkey God. Lincoln writes the Jeremy Logan series.

About the book:

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.
