Description
Old Bones by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is a gripping thriller that delves into the dark history of the Donner Party. In 1847, a group of pioneers became snow-bound in the California mountains, leaving behind only skeletal remains and tales of starvation, murder, and cannibalism. A century later, historian Clive Benton approaches Nora Kelly, a young curator at the Santa Fe Institute of Archaeology, with a proposal to lead an expedition to find the 'Lost Camp' - a place shrouded in mystery and terror. As Kelly embarks on this perilous journey, she uncovers old bones that expose a sinister truth far more shocking than mere cannibalism. The discovery sets off a chain of events that leads rookie FBI agent Corrie Swanson into a case that may prove to be her last. With its pulse-pounding plot and eerie atmosphere, Old Bones is a heart-stopping thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat. With its unique blend of history, suspense, and supernatural elements, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of the genre.
