#1 bestselling authors Preston & Child bring the true
story of the ill-fated Donner Party to new life in a
thrilling blend 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 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.
