# The Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston (Paperback)

In downtown Manhattan, workers on a construction site breach a long-forgotten basement, unearthing a charnel house: **thirty-six bodies, systematically dismembered and carefully immured** at least 130 years ago.  
  
It's just the kind of case to intrigue **the unorthodox and enigmatic FBI agent Aloysius X.L. Pendergast**. But he's not the only interested party. Soon after the bodies are discovered **a killer strikes**. Their victim's corpse bears the same precise mutilations as the bodies in the basement.  
  
**The nightmare has begun. Again.**  
  
**'Fast-moving, sophisticated and bursting with surprises... There's nothing else like them' _WASHINGTON POST_.**  
  
**'Sit back, crack open the book and get ready for the ride of your life' DAVID BALDACCI**.
