Badlands

"Preston and Child’s fifth adventure featuring Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson (following Dead Mountain) tackles a terrific story while highlighting the continued growth of two stellar characters...Preston and Child were brilliant to team up Kelly and Swanson in their own series, bringing the legends and geography of the New Mexico badlands to life. This installment would be a great launching point for readers who haven’t read one of their books."—Library Journal (starred review)

“Preston and Child once again use real history as the starting point for their hair-raising plot, which makes a series of tantalizing turns before culminating in an encounter with the supernatural. This is on a par with the best of the authors’ Pendergast series.”—Publishers Weekly

“[A] quintessential summer read […] a scorcher of a tale that straddles the lines between science and superstition.”
 —BookTrib

"Hair-raising fun!"—Kirkus (starred review)

“It’s another triumph for Preston & Child and a breathtaking adventure that never disappoints.”—Bookreporter

“This is another great Preston & Child novel, with lots of twists and turns that you don’t see coming. Fans of this series will be happy with this one.”—Red Carpet Crash

“The authors offer their signature melding of science, suspense and the supernatural.”
