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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe thrillers of \u003cb\u003eDouglas Preston \u003c\/b\u003eand \u003cb\u003eLincoln Child\u003c\/b\u003e \"stand head and shoulders above their rivals\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e).
