The Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
If you read only one book for pleasure this summer, choose this one. It is the ultimate summer read, a intriguing adventure that will keep you up late at night. Archeologist Nora Kelly and peculiar FBI agent Pendergast team up to discover the truth about a hidden crypt of victims murdered 130 years ago, deep under Manhattan. The discovery triggers a series of murders within the New York Museum of Natural History, a dusty repository of treasures and mysterious secrets. Is there a link between the current murders and the historical murders, both of which feature a bizarre almost surgical nature? Imagine a book that combines elements of a Sherlock Holmes mystery, an Indian Jones adventure, a Hannibal Lector thriller, and Caleb Car’s The Alienist and you will begin to see what treat you have in store.
