A good salary and an all-expenses-paid summer spent asprawling Arizona ranch is too good a deal for fledgling anthropologist D.J.Abbott to turn down. What does it matter that her rich new employer/benefactor,Hank Hunnicutt, is a certified oddball who is presently funding all manner ofoff-beat projects, from alien conspiracy studies to a hunt for dragon bones?There's even talk of treasure buried in the nearby mountains, but D.J. isn'tgoing to allow loose speculation - or the considerable charms of handsomeprofessional treasure hunter Jesse Franklin - to sidetrack her. Until Hunnicuttsuffers a mysterious accident and then vanishes, leaving the weirdos gatheredat his spread to eye each other with frightened suspicion. But on a high desertsearch for the missing millionaire, D.J. is learning things that may not behealthy for her to know. For the game someone is playing here goes far beyondthe rational universe - and it could leave D.J. legitimately dead.
