ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Cabinet of Curiosities" by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is a thrilling mystery that blends historical crime with contemporary suspense. When a charnel house is discovered in an ancient tunnel under New York City, revealing thirty-six murdered and mutilated bodies from over a century ago, a complex investigation begins. The story follows the pursuit of a copycat killer, whose actions are strangely connected to the scientific obsessions of Enoch Leng, a 19th-century figure. The New York Museum of Natural History becomes central to the investigation, with characters like Nora Kelly and William Smithback drawn into the dark secrets of the past. As the investigation progresses, the characters uncover a web of scientific ambition and murder.
