Ratings and reviews

Special Agent Pendergast showcases the power of a trained mind. Preston & Child brings chilling suspense in every page. You can almost smell the stench of dark, gothic, late-19th Century Manhattan. A must-read!

A good read with more than enough gore to make it creepy. I thought it over- descriptive in places but definitely interesting I hope to enjoy many more books, by these authors, in the future.

My FAVORITE book of all time....hands down. Created a love affair with the lead character that makes me want to marry him in my next life (:

About the author

The thrillers of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child "stand head and shoulders above their rivals" (Publishers Weekly). Preston and Child's Relic and The Cabinet of Curiosities were chosen by readers in a National Public Radio poll as being among the one hundred greatest thrillers ever written, and Relic was made into a number-one box office hit movie. They are coauthors of the famed Pendergast series and their recent novels include Fever Dream, Cold Vengeance, Two Graves, and Gideon's Corpse. In addition to his novels, Preston writes about archaeology for the New Yorker and Smithsonian magazines. Lincoln Child is a former book editor who has published five novels of his own, including the huge bestseller Deep Storm.
