When two grotesquely deformed skeletons are found deep in the mud off the Manhattan shoreline, museum curator Margo Green is called in to aid the investigation. Margo must once again team up with police lieutenant D'Agosta and FBI agent Pendergast, as well as the brilliant Dr. Frock, to try and solve the puzzle. The trail soon leads deep underground, where they will face the awakening of a slumbering nightmare..."--

Review Quotes:
Praise for Relic
"These guys are masters at scaring the hell out of people."
--Tribune and Times (Tampa, Florida)
--Booklist "Superbly exciting."
--The Record (Bergen County, New Jersey) "This is a real page-turner, part Jaws, part Poseidon Adventure."
--Library Journal "Jaws takes Manhattan."
--San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle " Relic is a straight thriller. That's like saying, however, that Die Hard was just another action adventure flick or that Gone With the Wind was just another Civil War film. Each stands as a superlative example of its type."
--Orlando Sentinel "Relic is as good as this type of novel gets."
--Hartford Courant
" A high-concept, high-energy thriller . . . Builds to a superbly exciting climax, and then offers a final twist to boot."
--Publishers Weekly
