On My Radar: Preston & Child's Diablo Mesa!

 


Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's Nora Kelly series is one I'm really enjoying. The first book in the series is Old Bones, and the second, The Scorpion's Tail, is one of the book's on my Best Reads of 2021 list. So... when information on the third book, Diablo Mesa, popped up on my radar screen, you know what I did, right? Of course-- my patented Happy Dance.

Let's find out more about the book!


Available February 15, 2022!

 
Synopsis: 

"Lucas Tappan, a wealthy and eccentric billionaire and founder of Icarus Space Systems, approaches the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute with an outlandish proposal—to finance a careful, scientific excavation of the Roswell Incident site, where a UFO is alleged to have crashed in 1947. A skeptical Nora Kelly, to her great annoyance, is tasked with the job. 

Nora's excavation immediately uncovers two murder victims buried at the site, faces and hands obliterated with acid to erase their identities. Special Agent Corrie Swanson is assigned to the case. As Nora’s excavation proceeds, uncovering things both bizarre and seemingly inexplicable, Corrie’s homicide investigation throws open a Pandora's box of espionage and violence, uncovering bloody traces of a powerful force that will stop at nothing to protect its secrets—and that threatens to engulf them all in an unimaginable fate.
"


I don't know about you, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what these two writers do with Roswell. Diablo Mesa should be another winner in this series. All I can say is, Hurry up, February 15!

  1. Oh, I'll have to tell my husband about this one, Cathy. He's a Preston/Child reader and I know he'll want to know about it. I have to admit, I'm less into them, but still, it sounds like a good 'un.

    1. If it's anything like the second one, it'll be better than a good'un!

    1. I don't know why I never caught on to their Prendergast series. I did try it more than once. But I love this Nora Kelly series.

  3. I love Preston and Child, but I need to catch up on this series before this next one comes out.

  4. I wasn't aware of this one at all (maybe the series is too new for me to have registered the publication schedule yet), so I'm happily adding it to my list also.
