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
Bloodless, The Scorpion's Tail, Crooked River, Old Bones, and
Verses for the Dead. In addition to his novels, Preston writes about archaeology for the
New Yorker and
Smithsonian magazines. Child is a Florida resident and former book editor who has published seven novels of his own, including such bestsellers as
Full Wolf Moon and
Deep Storm.
