The Scorpions Tail
Описание и характеристики
She brings in archaeologist Nora Kelly to lend her expertise to the investigation, and together they uncover something unexpected and shocking: the deceased apparently died in agony, in a fetal position, skin coming off in sheets, a rictus of horror frozen on his face. On the corpse lies a sixteenth century Spanish gold cross of immense value.
When they at last identify the body—and the bizarre cause of death— Corrie and Nora open a door into a terrifying, secret world of ancient treasure and modern obsession: a world centered on one of the most defining, frightening, and transformative moments in American history.
