Thunderhead by Douglas Preston A ripping good archeological mystery evocative of the Indiana Jones Movies. Thunderhead relates the tale of a group of archeologists searching through Southwestern canyonlands for Quivira, the Anasazi Indians’ Lost City of Gold. Legend say that Quivira was a storehouse of exquisite golden artifacts . What the legends don't explain is why the Anasazi vanished. Unknown to the expedition's leader, Nora Kelly — an archaeologist whose father vanished 15 years earlier looking for Quivira — the evil that befell the tribe still exists.
