Synopsis

An unexpected gift has arrived for Carol Farley this Christmas: an envelope bearing a newspaper clipping and no return address. There, blurred but unmistakable, is a photo of a man missing for years and feared deadCarols father. It is a siren calling her to a world she has never known, to a place of ancient majesty and bloodchilling terror. Now, surrounded by towering pyramids on Mexico Citys Walk of the Dead, a frightened yet resolute young woman searches for a perilous truth and for the beloved parent she thought was gone forever. But there are dark secrets lurking in the shadows of antiquity, a conspiracy she never imagined, and enemies who are determined that Carol Farley will not leave Mexico alive.

Goodreads review by Rosario on December 15, 2021

Oh, dear. This one really isn't good. I haven't reread them in many years and I didn't remember liking it much, but I positively disliked it this time around.
