He was just a boy when his six-year-old sister, Morgan, was abducted from the museum under his watch, and the guilt has haunted Simon ever since. After a recent breakup and the death of the aunt who raised him, Simon feels drawn back to the place where Morgan vanished, in search of the bones they never found. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut from the moment he arrives, things aren't what he expected. The Hawthorne is a crumbling ruin, still closed amid the ongoing pandemic, and plummeting toward financial catastrophe. Worse, Simon begins seeing and hearing things he can't explain. Strange animal sounds. Bloody footprints that no living creature could have left. A prehistoric killer looming in the shadows of the museum. Terrified he's losing his grasp on reality, Simon turns to the handwritten research diaries of his predecessor and uncovers a blood-soaked mystery 150 million years in the making that could be the answer to everything.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Luke Dumas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1668018268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668018262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atria Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.61lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.30w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2023 pg. 3\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/02\/2023","brand":"Luke Dumas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128963231999,"sku":"9781668018262","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45474677588223,"sku":"9781668018262","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_87046346-448e-4110-af7b-e49876a3418e.jpg?v=1687461354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-paleontologist-luke-dumas-9781668018262","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
