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.
Readers can sign up for The Pendergast File, a monthly "strangely
entertaining note" from the authors, at their website,
www.PrestonChild.com. The authors welcome visitors to their
alarmingly active Facebook page, where they post regularly.
"Another highly entertaining and genuinely thrilling story from
Preston & Child starring their romantic, faintly gothic, and always
mysterious FBI agent, Aloysius Pendergast. As always the prose is
elegant, replete with exquisite descriptions, and this time we're
treated to dashes of historic characters Conan Doyle and Oscar
Wilde, as well as a positively delicious serving of the great
Sherlock Holmes. Through myriad shocks, surprises, twists and
turns, the suspense never lets up. Great fun to the last
page."--Anne Rice on White Fire
"Sherlock Holmes fans will relish Preston and Child's 13th novel
featuring eccentric FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast (after 2012's Two
Graves), one of their best in this popular series...easily stands
on its own with only passing references to Pendergast's complex
backstory."--Publishers Weekly (starred review) on White Fire
"The best Pendergast book yet - a collision between past and
present that will leave you breathless."--Lee Child on White Fire
