Cover blurb:
Book: Unnatural disasters. 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 Phoenix: both sexes, all races, ages,
ethnic groups. There is no evidence of rape or ritual.
Only one thing connects the victims.
They were 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: 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."
Official Site:
Agents Mulder and Scully are called to the New Mexico desert to investigate
a series of bizarre and brutal deaths. They jump at the chance to get out of
the claustrophobic atmosphere of Washington and their basement office. But
their search for the truth hits a brick wall of silence.
The drunken folk artist has seen something, but no one believes his story.
A local tough may know something, but he isn't talking.
A terrified art dealer has learned a frightening secret, but she's leaving
town as fast as she can pack her bags.
Tribe members on a nearby reservation may be hiding the killer, but they
meet the agents' questions with no answers.
And a faded movie star holds the key to the entire mystery, but keeps
silent.
Mulder and Scully must deal with a skeptical local sheriff and a strangely
uncooperative FBI field agent as they try to put together enough clues to
understand who, or what, is skinning its human prey alive.
And they must find the killer before they become its next victims.
