Description

Step into the shadows of Manhattan’s dark past with The Cabinet of Curiosities, a masterfully woven thriller from the New York Times bestselling duo Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. In this third installment of the acclaimed Pendergast series, a construction crew in downtown New York unearths a sealed 19th-century tunnel containing the skeletal remains of thirty-six young victims—all missing portions of their spinal columns.

The eccentric and brilliant FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast quickly realizes these aren’t just cold cases; they are the work of a serial killer who sought the secret to immortality over a century ago. When modern-day murders begin to mirror these gruesome historical crimes, Pendergast must team up with archaeologist Nora Kelly and journalist Bill Smithback to stop a killer who seems to have defied time itself. This gripping narrative blends high-stakes forensic science with chilling historical mystery, often cited by NPR as one of the “100 Best Thrillers Ever”.
