This a first book in a new series. Nora Kelly is an Archaeologist, she is meeting with a historian named Clive Benton about searching for the Dooner party camp in the Sierra Nevada mountains. She is meeting with the head of her department about going up there and with Clive's help they might just find it. Also, there is mention of gold coins left there. They do get the okay.
Junior agent Corrie Swanson has been doing cold cases for awhile now, at least four months. Picken's family decedents having been murdered and grave robbed and kidnapped. For what reason she doesn't know. Corrie's boss, calls he into his office to allow her to investigate what is happening. This is her chance to prove herself.
Burleson has a ranch where they can get horses to go up to where they are going to look for that lost party. They will have a few other people with them, so they will have food and horses to carrying their equipment up there to set up.
After being up there about a week in a half. One of Burleson's group leaves with some of the bones they find and after a search for a little while they find him at a bottom of a cliff. Agent Swanson is called in to look around, at first she thinks it's a murder. Asking everyone there what they know, she thinks there's more going on then there willing to say.
After another murder happens, even Nora is starting to wonder the same thing. Plus, its trying to uncover the bones and then, wanting to look for the gold. Everything just seems to be falling apart on her. She not happy, having to be kicked out of her site because of all this.
I'm not going to spoil the ending. But, I never saw what was coming at the end of the book. It's a pretty good book, worth reading.
