The most eagerly anticipated adventure novel of the year has arrived! Pulitzer Prize-winning writer John Darnton is about to take you on a fantastic journey that will make you believe the impossible.

During the most extraordinary expedition ever mounted, an eminent Harvard paleontologist disappears, leaving behind a skull of a Neanderthal dated to be only 25 years old! Matt Mattison and Susan Arnot, who were once lovers and are now academic rivals, are dispatched to find the secret their Harvard mentor was seeking: a species linked to the origins of mankind.
