  <default-description>Hidden deep beneath Manhattan lies a warren of tunnels, sewers, and galleries, mostly forgotten by those who walk the streets above. There lies the ultimate secret of the Museum Beat. 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.</default-description>

I enjoy the style - a sort of cliff-hanger like quality that keeps you reading - of these books, and I think I will continue the series when I need some good fun.

    <body><![CDATA[I wish I could give this book and extra five stars!!  It was so good and I could hardly put it down!  I love when a book mixes fact with fiction and the interesting history of the tunnels of New York was really cool to read about.  Robert K. Tanebaum also writes about them in his series but not the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60081158">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<br/>This was great; it had many aspects of the dirty underbelly of New York crammed in it...The Mole People made an appearance, human drug experimentation, the Astor tunnels, good cop / bad cop, great realism and some great sticky situations. I've read it at least 4 times.... <br/>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great sequel to the popular Relic by Douglas Preston.   An action, mystery, with fascinating settings and characters I can't help but think what a great movie this series would make.  A great writer that engages you and has you turning pages in desperation to find out what happens next. I love the P...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41600989">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Methinks I should have picked up <em>The Relic<em> (at the used book store since it wasn't at the library) before reading this one.  Fairly predictable, altho' I did learn much about the mole people.  Interesting.
