About this ebook

"[T]he snowballing pace will keep the reader turning the pages until the unexpected finish."—Publishers Weekly

When paleoartist Ansel Phoenix finds a burnt body hanging from the mouth of her life-sized Allosaurus replica outside the Big Toe Natural History Museum, she starts digging. An Indian poacher has been cutting out fossil carnosaur tracks along the Redwater River, and the Bureau of Land Management is threatening to close the museum and move the tracks to an educational institution. And the FBI is freezing out the local cops.

Using her half-Blackfoot heritage as leverage, Ansel devises a dangerous scheme to help the FBI expose a statewide fossil-poaching ring. But she didn't count on starting a new romance, stumbling over a heinous BLM land-grabbing plot, or being stalked by a deadly nemesis from her childhood.

    Like her first book in the series this is an okay mystery novel. The plot is pretty solid and the mystery itself is well put together. This one, unlike Mesozoic Murder has a whole lot more working parts, but for the most part they fit together seamlessly and propel the story forward.I still like the bit players just a teensy bit more than Ansel and Reid, though they're not in this story as much, which is a bummer (They do have a plot, but it's not a big one).The story is that when a guy gets blown to kingdom come trying to cut out of the ground Big Toe's very own dinosaur tracks, Ansel is on the case even as all those around her beg and plead for her to leave well enough alone.The paleontology is always interesting and I also liked how the author got into Ansel's head when it came to the artist side of Ansel's character (the artist part being a paleoartist). The new character Permelia Chance was just hilarious and heart warming and I liked getting to know more of Ansel's past in detail as well.A good solid three star book. Definitely worth a look, especially if dinosaurs are a passion of the reader.
