Old Bones by Douglas Preston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Newly appointed Agent Corrie Swanson is trying to unravel why the corpses of the Parkin's family are being dug up and dismembered as well as why a living member of the clan was kidnapped and presumed killed due to the large amount of blood found in her apartment. Her quest leads her to Nora Kelly.

Nora Kelly (Bill Smithback's Widow from Cemetery Dance ) is on an archeological expedition to find The Lost Camp of the Donner Expedition. Albert Parkin died in that camp and was one of the first to be eaten. Corrie is intent on finding the link between Albert Parkin and his descendants. To add more trouble to the mix rumor has it that there is a fortune in gold buried somewhere near the camp.

Working together Corrie and Nora discover why the skull of Albert Parking is worth killing for but it's not till Pendergast arrives on the scene that the gold is found. But while Pendergast may be a genius at finding gold both Corrie and Nora are quick to tell him he is nuts when he suggest they work together on future cases.
