In Tonopah by Christopher Lane, :if Melissa Lewis had known that she and her three high school students were trespassing in a restricted military zone, they’d have left before they ever stumbled across the fossilized bones.

Her discovery has also placed her in the cross-hairs of hired killers. And it's about to sweep her into a deadly vortex of top-level government scandal, FBI investigations, high-tech military maneuvers, and nuclear testing. Through it all, one thing becomes abundantly clear. Someone will do anything to gain possession of Melissa's fossils.
