"Douglas Preston's explorations have taken him from the haunted country of Italy to the jungles of Honduras ... He was granted exclusive journalistic access to the largest tomb in Egypt's Valley of the Kings; broke the story of an extraordinary mass grave of animals killed by the asteroid impact that ended the Cretaceous period and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs; and explored what lay hidden in the booby-trapped Money Pit on Oak Island, where pirate's treasure is rumored to be buried. When he hasn't been coauthoring bestselling thrillers featuring FBI Special Agent Pendergast, Preston has been writing about some of the world's strangest and most dramatic mysteries. The Lost Tomb brings together a ... collection of true stories about buried treasure, enigmatic murders, lost tombs, bizarre crimes, and other fascinating tales of the past and present"--Dust jacket flap.
