Book Description
======
A series of bizarre and brutal murders is taking place in the halls of the
New York Museum of Natural History, only days before a massive exhibition
is set to open. Margo Green knows that the killer is something not human,
something that’s not even supposed to exist. Where did it come from, how
did it get into the museum, and how can it be stopped?
From Publishers Weekly
A monster on the loose in New York City’s American Museum of Natural History
provides the hook for this high-concept, high-energy thriller. A statue of
the mad god Mbwun, a monstrous mix of man and reptile, was discovered by a
Museum expedition to South America in 1987. Now, it is about to become part
of the new Superstition Exhibition at the museum (here renamed the
"New York Museum of Natural History"). But as the exhibition’s opening
night approaches, the museum may have to be shut down due to a series of
savage murders that seem to be the work of a maniac-or a living version of Mbwun.
When the museum’s director pulls strings to ensure that the gala affair takes
place, it’s up to a small band of believers, led by graduate student Margo Green,
her controversial adviser and an FBI agent who investigated similar killings in
New Orleans, to stop the monster-if the culprit is indeed a monster-from going
on a rampage. Less horror then action-adventure, the narrative builds to a
superbly exciting climax, and then offers a final twist to boot. With its
close-up view of museum life and politics, plausible scientific background,
sharply drawn characters and a plot line that’s blissfully free of gratuitous
romance, this well-crafted novel offers first-rate thrills and chills.
