Reply #3: Lincoln Child "the Cabinet of Curiousities"

[Rowdyboy]

Agent Pendergrast is a very different FBI agent who has a mysterious background and New Orleans connections. I'd start with the first novel "Relics", even though it is the weakest. They're all good writing.

Shutter Island blew me away. Can't say that I really loved the ending. It left me confused and uneasy. Still, I loved the book.

on edit: Some of the novels are co-authored by Doug Preston. Originally heard of these books in a thread where Skinner asked for book recommendations.
