500    Sequel to: Old bones. 
520    A sequel to "Old Bones" finds FBI agent Corrie Swanson and
       Santa Fe archaeologist Nora Kelly investigating the 
       mummified corpse of a long-dead victim who died in agony 
       while holding a mysterious sixteenth-century gold cross. 
520    A mummified corpse, over half a century old, is found in 
       the cellar of an abandoned building in a remote New Mexico
       ghost town. Junior FBI Agent Corrie Swanson needs to ID 
       the body, and determine cause of death. When archaeologist
       Nora Kelly lends her expertise to the investigation, they 
       uncover that the deceased died in a fetal position, skin 
       coming off in sheets, a rictus of horror frozen on his 
       face. And hidden on the corpse is a sixteenth century 
       Spanish gold cross of immense value. When they at last 
       identify the body -- and the bizarre cause of death -- 
       Corrie and Nora open a door into a terrifying, secret 
       world of ancient treasure and modern obsession: a world 
       centered on arguably the most defining, frightening, and 
       transformative moment in American history.-- adapted from 
       jacket
