Book Description
======
Dr. Nora Kelly’s life as an archeologist at New York City’s American Museum of
Natural History becomes complicated when Dr. Aloysius X. L. Pendergast, a
secretive and highly resourceful FBI Special Agent, convinces her to help him
uncover the truth behind a string of brutal murders that appears to stretch back 130 years.
The adventure starts out with the discovery of a long-buried tunnel at a
construction site in Manhattan containing the bodies of 36 young people.
Kelly’s assistance as archeologist is needed by Pendergast. But they are
soon frustrated by countervailing forces who oppose their involvement:
Roger C. Brisbane III: Museum’s first Vice Director
Anthony Fairhaven: Wealthy entrepreneur, owner of the development property.
Fairhaven is a large contributor to the museum, and to the mayor’s election campaign.
The City of New York: The Mayor and the police exert every effort to stop
Pendergast and Kelly’s investigation.
In spite of efforts to thwart them, Pendergast and Kelly make some important
discoveries at the construction site, especially the gruesome manner in which
the victims were killed. This modus operandi appears to have triggered a
modern-day copy-cat killer.
The Police Department, in spite of its intention to curtail Pendergast,
has to appear helpful to the investigation, and supplies a liaison officer,
Patrick Murphy O’Shaughnessy. To the department’s chagrin O’Shaughnessy is
much too helpful and becomes a boon to Pendergast and Kelly.
Pendergast, Kelly, and O’Shaughnessy are also helped by William Smithback,
Jr., ambitious journalist and Kelly’s boyfriend.
The murders continue, and they move closer in to the museum resulting
in a horrific murder in the museum’s basement archives, and a frightening
chase after Kelly.
The investigation reveals a startling secret in the Pendergast family,
a successful means of prolonging life, and a murderous obsession to
achieve the eradication of the mankind ‘disease’.
The story introduces the cabinet of curiosity (created by the killer Leng),
and hints at something hidden in it, which is featured in the consecutive novels.
