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. Preston's acclaimed nonfiction book,
The Monster of Florence, is being made into a movie starring George Clooney. Lincoln Child is a former book editor who has published five novels of his own, including the huge bestseller
Deep Storm.
