In a quest to clear their names, Chuck and Clarence team with Chuck's paramedic wife, Janelle Ortega, and their young daughters, tracking the unknown killer first to the hidden reinterment site of a legendary North American mummy north of the mountain town of Durango, Colorado, then to the site of a secretive archaeological dig in rugged Gunnel Canyon on the edge of Mesa Verde National Park. There, they learn of the rumored existence of spiritually significant burial vessels, known as canopic jars, reputedly made by the Ancestral Puebloan people who thrived in the cliff-walled canyons of Mesa Verde a thousand years ago. If the canopic jars exist, the vessels would radically alter the contemporary understanding of Ancestral Puebloan culture, making them invaluable--and perhaps worth killing over. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSCOTT GRAHAM\u003c\/b\u003e is the National Outdoor Book Award-winning author of the six-volume National Park Mystery Series for Torrey House Press, including \u003ci\u003eCanyon Sacrifice\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMountain Rampage\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYellowstone Standoff\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eYosemite Fall\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eArches Enemy\u003c\/i\u003e, and five other books.
