Matt is hitching across New Mexico when he spots a red, sandstone mesa and feels strangely drawn to it.  Despite the warning from the person he's riding with, he decides to get out and walk that way, in hopes of discovering what is pulling him to the mesa.  Along the way he encounters some people with car trouble and helps them, discovering they are archeologists and their driver/mechanic had just quit, so Matt is offered, and accepts, the job to go with them to the mesa - which they call Blood Mesa - to help research an old Anasazi city.  What evil will Matt find lurking for him in the ancient city of the Anasazi?  How many people's blood will be spilled ... on Blood Mesa?OK, that was rather melodramatic, but I have to be all "minor plot points, questions to increase interest, keep the spoilers to a minimum" and you have no idea how hard that is when you're reading most of a series in one go - each book builds on the previous books and more information is revealed, but if I tell that to you, you will learn plot points that are supposed to be kept quiet until you get to this book, so if you haven't read the first 4, then you'll end up having some of the surprises spoiled.  That said, while being somewhat formulaic, Matt runs across different enough people in different enough situations to keep my interest, and fans of dark suspense and horror should enjoy this stories.
