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.

"Pendergast--an always-black-clad pale blond polymath, gaunt yet
physically deadly, an FBI agent operating without supervision or
reprimand--lurks at the dark, sharp edge of crime fiction
protagonists."--Kirkus Reviews
"A mile-a-minute thriller with a deeply entertaining plot and
marvelous characters, in a setting that will chill your blood, and
not only because it's 10 degrees below zero and covered with snow.
My copy is full of crumbs because I couldn't put it down long
enough to eat."--Diana Gabaldon
"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
"Preston and Child continue their dominance of the thriller genre
with stellar writing and twists that come at a furious pace. Others
may try to write like them, but no one can come close. The best in
the business deliver another winner."--RT Book Reviews on Cold
Vengeance
"Preston and Child have created a terrific mix of mystery and the
unexpected that will keep you reading into the late hours of the
night. They promise a great read and they have delivered."--Clive
Cussler
"This is no dream; it's the authors' best book in years. Pendergast
has to rein in his feelings to pay attention to the details, and
it's fun to see the role reversal between him and the usually
emotional D'Agosta. Not to be missed by either newcomers or
die-hard fans."--Library Journal (starred review) for Fever
Dream
"WHITE FIRE is as incandescent as its title, a beautifully
organized, tautly paced book that really did just yank me in and
demand that I keep reading. I'm very grateful for the
experience."--Peter Straub
