"jack furness, a world-famous mountaineer, is scaling one of the highest peaks in nepal when he slips and falls into a crevasse. in the snow he finds a fragment of skull preserved in almost immaculate condition, and on returning home presents it to his ex-girlfriend, dr. stella swift, a paleoanthropologist at berkeley. stell is intrigued. the skull seems to be a rare example of an early hominid, a form of ape-man which science has yet to classify. she also discovers that the skull is not millions of years old, but alarmingly recent.
as a result, stella and jack set about organising a new expedition to the himalayas, to rediscover more of the fossil material, and maybe even to track down a living sample of this strange creature..."
Not what I expected. More a very good mystery/thriller.
