About this audiobook
Bloomsbury presents Badlands by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, read by Cynthia Farrell
The #1 New York Times bestselling authors return with a scintillating supernatural-themed thriller. Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson investigate bizarre deaths in the New Mexico desert, but awaken an ancient evil.
In the New Mexico desert badlands, a woman's skeleton is found with two rare artefacts clutched in her hands: lightning stones used by the ancient Chaco people to summon the gods.
Was it suicide... or sacrifice?
FBI Special Agent Corrie Swanson brings in archaeologist Nora Kelly to investigate. When a second body is found in identical circumstances, they realise the case runs deeper than they imagined.
As Corrie and Nora pursue their investigation into remote canyons, haunted ruins, and long-lost rituals, they find themselves confronting a dark power that, disturbed from its long slumber, threatens to exact an unspeakable price.
