I devoured it over a weekend, unable to put it down.

They say his wife killed him. If so... which one? Polygamist Blake Nelson built a homestead on a hidden stretch of land-a raw paradise in the wilds of Utah-where he lived with his three wives: Rachel, the first wife, obedient and doting to a fault, with a past she'd prefer to keep quiet. Tina, the rebel wife, everything Rachel isn't, straight from rehab and the Vegas strip. And Emily, the young wife, naive and scared, estranged from her Catholic family. The only thing that they had in common was Blake. Until all three are accused of his murder. When Blake is found dead under the desert sun, all three wives become suspect-not only to the police, but to each other. As the investigation draws them closer, each wife must decide who can be trusted. With stories surfacing of a notorious cult tucked away in the hills, whispers flying about a fourth wife, and evidence that can't quite explain what had been keeping Blake busy, the three widows face a reckoning that might shatter all they know to be true. For fans of The Wife Between Us and The Dry comes a chilling murder mystery that takes a domestic thriller's classic question-"Did his wife kill him?"-and twists it into an completely new type of suspense.

In 1532 Francisco Pizarro, the leader of the Spanish Conquistadors, arrived by sea in the land of the Incas with a small army to subjugate the region and send what riches he found there back to Spain. Pizarro and his two brothers were fearsome warriors, and his first act was to capture the Inca Emperor Atahuallpa and demand a ransom of twenty-four tons of gold. The ransom was paid, but Pizarro strangled the Emperor anyway. The most prized and revered object the Incas had was a solid-gold statue of Inti the Sun god, seen by the Inca people as the giver and supporter of all life. It had to be protected from the Spanish looters and so twenty young men and two high priests from the temple in Cuzco spirited away the one-ton solid-gold statue to a place of safety. Later, one of the surviving high priests left a series of clues and it is here, almost five hundred years later that our story begins."
