Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by the Wishful Endings blog. This meme spotlights the books that we are excited about but have yet to read. Generally, they're books that have yet to be released.
The story takes place in the New Mexico badlands, obviously given the title. The skeleton of a woman is found and the case is assigned to FBI Agent Corrie Swanson. After the victim walked into the desert, she died of heatstroke. Two rare artifacts are found clutched in her bony hands. They are lightning stones used by the ancient Chaco people to summon the gods.
Agent Swanson brings in archaeologist Nora Kelly to investigate. A second body is later found exactly like the other. As Corrie and Nora pursue their investigation by visiting remote canyons, haunted ruins, and long-lost rituals, they find themselves confronting a dark power.
I have read most of Preston and Child's novels and all of them were entertaining. I am looking forward to reading the novel. What books are you looking to read?
I read their books years ago and stopped and never got back to them. Blast from the past when I saw your post! They are absolutely amazing writers. So much creativity and talent and uniqueness. The ones I read scared the pants off me reading them at night, lol. You've reminded me to maybe pick up and see what the characters are up to. I hope you enjoy this one!
