Woo hoo! I just got Paradox by Douglas Preston and his daughter Aletheia. I was so taken with the prequel, Extinction, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. CBI Agent Frankie Cash and Eagle County Sheriff Jim Colcord, whom we met in the first book, team up again on their most enigmatic and dangerous case yet. "Their investigation uncovers a trail of bizarre killings, baffling money transfers, and a fanatical secret society. And all the while, the resurrected Neanderthals, who vanished into the Colorado mountains, seem to be biding their time for something... spectacular."

Listening to Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts. A Natural Resources police officer had just helped take down three men preying on hikers in the Maryland mountains. Driving back, she pulled in at a convenience store and walked right into a robbery in progress. One gunshot from a jittery thief was about to change her world. She may be down, but she's not out.
Nora sure creates some creepy, scary bad guys. And some good dogs.

Have a safe and pleasant holiday. Thank you to those who served.
