OLD BONES - DOUGLAS PRESTON LINCOLN CHILD KARTO...

The latest pulse-pounding thriller from New York Times bestsellers Preston & Child.  Nora Kelly
a young curator at the Santa Fe Institute of Archaeology  is approached by historian Clive
Benton with a 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.   Benton tells Kelly he has stumbled upon an amazing find:
the long-sought diary of one of the victims  which has an enigmatic description of the Lost
Camp. Nora agrees to lead an expedition to locate and excavate it - to reveal its long-buried
secrets.   Once in the mountains  however  they learn that discovering the camp is only the
first step in a mounting journey of fear. For as they 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.
