This novel centered around an Egyptian tomb with a dangerous curse.

3. Far below Manhattan, the Museum Beast lives in sewers and tunnels. Margo Green, Pendergast and D'Agosta must work together to solve this mystery.

This book was a sequel to "Relic" and was as eerie as the first.

4. This Preston/Child novel has been made into a major Hollywood motion picture starring Penelope Ann Miller and Tom Sizemore.

From Quiz Preston/Child

Answer: Relic

"Relic", while quite a subpar movie, was the duo's first novel. I really hope they convert more of their novels to the big screen.

5. A strange research compound is located within the hot desert of New Mexico. Two characters, Guy Carson and Susana Cabeza, discover they may be working on a dangerous medical breakthrough.

From Quiz Preston/Child Guess the Novel

Answer: Mount Dragon

One of their earlier novels, "Mount Dragon" concerned a crazy genius who has plans that may cause human extinction.

6. In this book, Special Agent Pendergast travels to a little town in the midwest to help aid in the search for a mysterious killer.

From Quiz Preston/Child

Answer: Still Life With Crows

While not their best novel (in my opinion), it is still a rather good read, especially if you are claustrophobic.

7. Prior to opening a huge exhibit, the New York Museum of Natural History is the site of gruesome murders caused by an unearthly creature.

From Quiz Preston/Child Guess the Novel

Answer: Relic

This was the prequel to "Reliquary" and was made into a major motion picture.

8. Nora Kelly, who has intermittently appeared in a few of the Preston/Child novels, first appeared in which book?

From Quiz Preston/Child

Answer: Thunderhead

Nora Kelly, who in my mind's eye is absolutely a gorgeous woman, is my favorite Preston/Child character.. next to the untenable Special Agent Pendergast, of course.

9. Several strange murders, with sulfur smells and claw prints, lead Pendergast to believe the devil may be behind it all. The cities swarm with apocalyptic fears.

From Quiz Preston/Child Guess the Novel

Answer: Brimstone

This was my first Preston/Child novel. Although a bit long, this was a great introduction to the duo.

10. Name the novel that featured the characters Guy Carson, Brent Scopes, and The Mime.

Answer: Mount Dragon

"Mount Dragon" was the duo's second novel.

A fun read full of death, high-tech operations and immense treasure.

12. What is the name of the company that takes on the seemingly impossible task of moving the meteorite in "The Ice Limit"? This company claims that they "never fail".

Answer: Effective Engineering Solutions

Effective Engineering Solutions were only seen in "The Ice Limit" until they were brought back in Preston/Child's 2005 novel "Dance of Death".

13. An old tunnel under a New York City mansion is found, and thirty-six bodies are uncovered within. Pendergast must figure it all out as identical murders begin happening all over again.

From Quiz Preston/Child Guess the Novel

Answer: The Cabinet of Curiosities

Yet another great book with my favorite FBI agent Pendergast. This novel takes him back not only to 160 years ago, but also to his dark past.

14. This sinister character, whom you only briefly see before "Dance of Death", has one green eye and one blue. He is also a relative of a major player in the Preston/Child novels. Name him.

Diogenes was briefly seen in "Brimstone", is the main antagonist in "Dance of Death", and is the brother to Special Agent Pendergast.

15. Nora Kelly leads a team into a secluded part of Utah's canyons on a search for her father and a lost city of gold.

From Quiz Preston/Child Guess the Novel

An interesting novel, especially if you have any knowledge of archaeology or of desert canyons.

16. This novel was about a quest for buried treasure. The treasure was buried by a ruthless pirate who had made it seemingly impossible to bring up.

From Quiz Preston/Child

Answer: Riptide

"Riptide" was a very intriguing novel filled with suspense and chills; not to mention a great water chase. It also presents a moral awareness for those consumed by greed.

17. A small town in the center of America is the site of some gruesome killings. Pendergast must get to the heart of the situation. Is it a serial killer or some mysterious curse?

This is made extremely apparent in "Thunderhead".

The prequel to "The Book of the Dead", this is a wonderfully fun novel that has tons of twists and turns.

20. Who is the arch-nemesis and journalist rival of Bill Smithback?
