Sequel to 'The Relic'
When two skeletons are discovered in the reeking mud off the Manhattan shoreline, Natural History Museum curator and anthropologist Margo Green is called in to help out. There's something odd about these remains, something dank and horribly disturbing. The signs of foul play and grotesque abnormalities can mean only one thing: the awakening of a slumbering nightmare.
The mystery deepens with a string of brutal murders and a reluctant Margo finds herself teamed up once more with Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta of the NYPD, ultra-cool FBI agent Pendergast and brilliant scientist Dr Frock. Their investigation takes them from crumbling warehouses and burned-out labs to the hidden lairs of New York's homeless and on down to the long-abandoned, long-forgotten galleries, tunnels and sewers that riddle the bedrock beneath the city . . . to the final hideous secret of the Museum Beast.
