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 The Cabinet of Dr. Leng, Diablo Mesa, Bloodless, The Scorpion's Tail, and Crooked River. In addition to his novels, Preston is the author of the award-winning nonfiction book The Lost City of the Monkey God. Child is a Florida resident and former book editor who has published eight novels of his own, including such bestsellers as Chrysalis and Deep Storm.
Praise for CROOKED RIVER
"Exciting. Nail-biting. Quality storytelling."--Publishers

and creepy agent ever written. . . Read this. As fast as possible.
Preston & Child have once again created the unimaginable and you
just can't miss it!"--Suspense Magazine
"Agent Pendergast is back and better than ever."--The Real Book
Spy

flair."--Associated Press
"The best mystery series going today. Preston and Child display a
true masters' touch. This is riveting reading entertainment of the

PRAISE FOR BLOODLESS: "Leave it to the imaginations of Preston and
Child... Spooky and surreal [and] wonderful fun."--Kirkus

(especially between oft-impatient Coldmoon and eternally placid
Pendergast) and tantalizingly spooky mysteries, topped off with a
gloriously wild finale that is as action-packed as it is
memorable."--BookPage (Starred Review)
"BLOODLESS is their 20th novel featuring one of the most unique
protagonists in all of thriller fiction, Agent Aloysius Pendergast,

together.... BLOODLESS is a pure pleasure to read and is like candy
to thriller fans --- candy from which readers will drain every
ounce of flavor in pure delight."--BookReporter
"Non-stop action, and much to amuse, shock and horrify the
reader."--Fresh Fiction
"Preston and Child, expertly straddling the line between reality
and the paranormal, have fashioned a neo-gothic masterpiece."--The
