While You’re Waiting for More News, Check Out this Fantastic, On Topic Thriller by Preston and Child

Diablo Mesa by Preston and Child. I picked this up at a library book sale and completely flew through it in a couple of days. It definitely scratches the itch while we’re waiting for more updates, and I promise it is right up our alley and very on topic. UAPs, Roswell archaeological dig, unaccounted SAPs, etc. It’s really a page turner and couldn’t be more timely and on point. Came out in 2022.

Synopsis:

“From New York Times bestsellers Preston and Child, archaeologist Nora Kelly and FBI Agent Corrie Swanson are tasked with the mysterious deaths of two people found at a site where a UFO allegedly crashed decades before.

Lucas Tappan, a wealthy and eccentric billionaire and founder of Icarus Space Systems, approaches the Santa Fe Archaeological Institute with an outlandish proposal—to finance a careful, scientific excavation of the Roswell Incident site, where a UFO is alleged to have crashed in 1947. A skeptical Nora Kelly, to her great annoyance, is tasked with the job.

Nora’s excavation immediately uncovers two murder victims buried at the site, faces and hands obliterated with acid to erase their identities. Special Agent Corrie Swanson is assigned to the case. As Nora’s excavation proceeds, uncovering things both bizarre and seemingly inexplicable, Corrie’s homicide investigation throws open a Pandora’s box of espionage and violence, uncovering bloody traces of a powerful force that will stop at nothing to protect its secrets—and that threatens to engulf them all in an unimaginable fate.”
