Count me as someone who loves old-fashioned thrillers that feature a potent connection between the past and the present. That explains why I’m such a fan of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, particularly their newest series that continues with “The Scorpion s Tail” (Grand Central, 416 pages, $28), featuring the team of FBI agent Corrie Swanson and archaeologist Nora Kelly. This time out, the mystery in the past involves a century-old mummified corpse recovered along with a priceless artifact. Has our stalwart pair uncovered a missing ancient treasure? A far more recent murder? A plot of huge proportions? In this case, it’s all of the above, resulting in a devilishly entertaining romp that harks back to the seminal works of Alistair MacLean, as well as the H. Rider Haggard 19th-century classics “King Solomon s Mines” and “She.”
