I would also recommend some sort of short session with the players to create a summary of what each investigator has been doing in the 4 year interval. This can be free form but make some notes. Add these summaries to their overall character backstories.

The Keeper than work with those before starting the campaign proper to just run through each chapter and see if there any links that can be made - without forcing it - to any of the NPCs that will be coming up. For example: An ex cop having a NYPD contact or New York Times or Miskatonic - you get the idea.

Peppering a few of these contacts and linking them up to investigators backstories will really help to make things run smoothly and allow the keeper to drop in hints, clues and tragically replacements so as to move things along without appearing heavy handed.

Also in Peru section it mentions kharisiri Luis Mendoza doesn't sleep so stays up all night but then later at the pyramid site 2 kharisiri go to sleep. Are they able to sleep or not?
