Reliquary: The Second Novel in the Pendergast Series - Paperback

by Douglas Preston (Author), Lincoln Child (Author)

From #1 New York Times bestselling authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child comes the second spine-chilling novel featuring Special Agent Pendergast

Hidden deep beneath Manhattan lies a warren of tunnels, sewers, and galleries, mostly forgotten by those who walk the streets above. There lies the ultimate secret of the Museum Beast. When two grotesquely deformed skeletons are found deep in the mud off the Manhattan shoreline, museum curator Margo Green is called in to aid the investigation.

Margo must once again team up with police lieutenant D'Agosta and FBI agent Pendergast, as well as the brilliant Dr. Frock, to try and solve the puzzle. The trail soon leads deep underground, where they will face the awakening of a slumbering nightmare.
