After a shoot-out leaves an FBI agent gravely wounded, Corrie Swanson finds herself under investigation. Her supervisor assures her she's not to blame but she cannot shake off a feeling of guilt. As a distraction, she takes on a new case involving a fifty-year-old, mummified corpse discovered in a long-abandoned New Mexico ghost town, and seeks help from her old enemy, archaeologist Nora Kelly.
The next book in a series featuring archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson.
