This is the fifth book in the Preston and Child series and the third of four standalones. I enjoyed it. The main character Nora Kelly marks the return of a strong female protagonist in the mold of Margo Green, unlike the other standalones so far. I was also glad to see Bill Smithback again (from Relic and Relicuary.) I liked the mix of human and supernatural villains. The beginning of the relationship between Nora and Bill was a bit stereotypical, but I still rooted for them.
This book makes me want to learn more about the Anasazi and the lost city of Quivira. Not enough to go on an expedition. Well, at least I saw Montezuma Castle.
