Summary
Number one best-selling authors Preston and Child return with the next book in a series featuring archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson.
After a shoot-out leaves a senior FBI agent gravely wounded, Corrie Swanson finds herself under investigation. Her supervisor assures her she's not to blame and the black mark on her record will be cleared in short order. But Corrie finds she cannot shake off an overwhelming feeling of guilt.
As a distraction, she takes on a new case involving a 50-year-old, mummified corpse discovered in a hidden enclave at High Lonesome, a long-abandoned New Mexico ghost town. Quickly out of her depth, she realizes she needs the help of her old enemy, archaeologist Nora Kelly. The two women soon uncover a startling truth: the deceased was poisoned and died clutching a priceless artifact.
Can the two women solve the mystery of the scorpion's tail? Or will they - like others before them - die in the attempt?

Good story, less good narration
This was an excellent book, but the narrators attempts at male voices was poor and a little distracting.

Highly recommended
Everything you would expect from a Preston Child novel. Tight story with plenty of twists. Good mixing of historical fact and supposition.
Highly recommended

Great story
Clarity of story line. The story was well read. Nora and Corie’s characters are developing and I will read the next book to see how they develop further.

I tried
Oh dear. Dubious characters. Unlikely events but that’s ok. Agents behaviour and processes unbelievable. I did want to like it.

Disappointed
A recycled Indiana Jones story with a little character development, a weak plot and repetitive theme.

Very Disappointing
Fairly routine cop story set in an unusual scenario, totally spoiled by some of the worst narration I have ever heard in any of my 1000+ books. Pedantic, even when speeded up a tad, the awful attempts to sound like a male character are like something from a comedy show and her rendition of an English accent is cringeworthy.
Good job it was only a Daily Deal and not a credit.
