Book Description:

When a team of archaeologists is savagely massacred in the Amazon Basin, all that survives is a solitary box of relics. From boat to boat, from port to port, the battered crate drifts. It finally reaches New York City - only to be locked away in the basement of the New York Museum of Natural History, lost and forgotten.

But the black heart of the Amazon never forgets. On the eve of the Museum's massive new exhibition, someone or something other than tourists and schoolchildren is roaming the echoing halls and dusty galleries. And people are turning up savagely murdered.

Forensic evidence points to a killer of terrifying strength and ferocity. Rumours of a 'Museum beast', never far from the surface, rise again among the Museum staff. But then Margo Green, a graduate student working in the Museum, uncovers a link between the killings, the failed Amazonian expedition, and an odd figurine that will be displayed for the first time. Will she be able to put the pieces together and stop the deadly menace before terror strikes again?

THE RELIC is Margo's race against time and death and an enemy so horrifying that she must find the strength within herself to destroy it and save the Museum from disaster.
