About this listen
From the #1 New York Times bestselling duo, renowned archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson investigate a mystery so enigmatic it may have no solution.
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.

Good book. Awful narrator
Almost had me bailing out. How a woman could actively make a kick ass female FBI agent sound simpering and weak is beyond me.

Should have bought print version
As others have said, the narration (& overall audio production) was hard to listen to. A good adaptation of a real world event into a fictional suspense. Though I like the Nora Kelly character, I would prefer the focus to shift to Corrie has she passes out of probation and moves to full FBI agent. Corrie is a great character but the audio performance doesn’t do her justice. I’ll probably opt for print next time in what I hope is a Corrie Swanson/Homer Watts focused novel.
