520    The first in the groundbreaking Nora Kelly series from #1 
       bestselling authors Preston & Child blends the legend of 
       the Donner party with a riveting suspense tale, taking the
       dynamic duo's work to new heights.  Nora Kelly, a young 
       but successful curator with a series of important 
       excavations already under her belt, is approached by the 
       handsome Historian, Guy Porter, to lead an expedition 
       unlike any other. Guy tells his story--one involving the 
       ill-fated Donner Party, who became permanently lodged in 
       the American consciousness in the winter of 1847, when the
       first skeletonized survivors of the party stumbled out of 
       the California mountains, replete with tales of courage, 
       resourcefulness, bad luck, murder, barbarism--and, finally,
       starvation and cannibalism.  Captivated by the Donner 
       Party, Nora agrees and they venture into the Sierra Nevada
       in search of the camp. Quickly, they learn that the 
       discovery of the missing starvation camp is just the tip 
       of the iceberg--and that the real truth behind those long-
       dead pioneers is not only far more complex and surprising 
       than they could have imagined...but it is one that puts 
       them both in mortal danger from a very real, present-day 
       threat in which the search for the lost party, and its 
       fabled fortune in gold, are merely means to a horrifying 
       end.
