Synopsis

Serial killers come in all shapes and sizes, but this one is particularly puzzling. There's no pattern to the mutilated bodies that have been showing up in Albuquerque: the victims have been both sexes and all races, ages, and ethnic groups. There is no evidence of rape or ritual. Only one thing connects the victims: they were the victims of a natural disaster—one of the most unnatural natural disasters imaginable—leading to a most painful, most certain, and most hideous death.Mulder and Scully, FBI: the agency maverick and the female agent assigned to keep him in line. Their job is to investigate the eerie unsolved mysteries the Bureau wants handled quietly but quickly, before the public finds out what's really out there … and panics—the cases filed under "X."

Well that book was one big "MEH!" Like it's a lot of not really much happening 😕 the beginning pulls you in with a murder mystery and then it just drops you like a stone with none of that X Files magic or mulder & scully magic, none of it is there, its almost as if the author forgot he was writing X......more

Goodreads review by Quentin on June 19, 2023

This was good. I enjoyed it a little more than Goblin, the first book in the series. In this one people are being skinned alive on a Native American reservation, and it looks like a job for Mulder and Scully. So far these X-Files novels have been pretty good. Each one would have made a great episode......more
