Experience a heart-pumping and thrilling tale of suspense!
Originally published in THRILLER (2006), edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson.
In this tag team Thriller Short, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child feature New York City policeman Vincent D’Agosta, who becomes involved with the theft of an ancient Incan sacrificial knife. But before D’Agosta can apprehend the thieves, they meet an untimely death. The particularly gruesome nature of the murders will leave D’Agosta longing for his more conventional villains—heat-packing crackheads, Hummer-driving pimps, two-dollar murderers, subway turnstile jumpers and the assortment of other freaks and bad guys he knows so well from the streets of New York City. His instincts tell him two things for certain: the inexplicable violence of this case has nothing to do with the original heist, and there are going to be more murders.

About the author
Douglas Preston
178 books13.4k followersDouglas Preston was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1956, and grew up in the deadly boring suburb of Wellesley. Following a distinguished career at a private nursery school--he was almost immediately expelled--he attended public schools and the Cambridge School of Weston. Notable events in his early life included the loss of a fingertip at the age of three to a bicycle; the loss of his two front teeth to his brother Richard's fist; and various broken bones, also incurred in dust-ups with Richard. (Richard went on to write The Hot Zone and The Cobra Event, which tells you all you need to know about what it was like to grow up with him as a brother.)
As they grew up, Doug, Richard, and their little brother David roamed the quiet suburbs of Wellesley, terrorizing the natives with home-made rockets and incendiary devices mail-ordered from the backs of comic books or concocted from chemistry sets. With a friend they once attempted to fly a rocket into Wellesley Square; the rocket malfunctioned and nearly killed a man mowing his lawn. They were local celebrities, often appearing in the "Police Notes" section of The Wellesley Townsman. It is a miracle they survived childhood intact.
After unaccountably being rejected by Stanford University (a pox on it), Preston attended Pomona College in Claremont, California, where he studied mathematics, biology, physics, anthropology, chemistry, geology, and astronomy before settling down to English literature. After graduating, Preston began his career at the American Museum of Natural History in New York as an editor, writer, and eventually manager of publications. (Preston also taught writing at Princeton University and was managing editor of Curator.) His eight-year stint at the Museum resulted in the non-fiction book, Dinosaurs in the Attic, edited by a rising young star at St. Martin's Press, a polymath by the name of Lincoln Child. During this period, Preston gave Child a midnight tour of the museum, and in the darkened Hall of Late Dinosaurs, under a looming T. Rex, Child turned to Preston and said: "This would make the perfect setting for a thriller!" That thriller would, of course, be Relic.
In 1986, Douglas Preston piled everything he owned into the back of a Subaru and moved from New York City to Santa Fe to write full time, following the advice of S. J. Perelman that "the dubious privilege of a freelance writer is he's given the freedom to starve anywhere." After the requisite period of penury, Preston achieved a small success with the publication of Cities of Gold, a non-fiction book about Coronado's search for the legendary Seven Cities of Cibola. To research the book, Preston and a friend retraced on horseback 1,000 miles of Coronado's route across Arizona and New Mexico, packing their supplies and sleeping under the stars--nearly killing themselves in the process. Since then he has published several more non-fiction books on the history of the American Southwest, Talking to the Ground and The Royal Road, as well as a novel entitled Jennie. In the early 1990s Preston and Child teamed up to write suspense novels; Relic was the first, followed by several others, including Riptide and Thunderhead. Relic was released as a motion picture by Paramount in 1997. Other films are under development at Hollywood studios. Preston and Child live 500 miles apart and write their books together via telephone, fax, and the Internet.
Preston and his brother Richard are currently producing a television miniseries for ABC and Mandalay Entertainment, to be aired in the spring of 2000, if all goes well, which in Hollywood is rarely the case.
Preston continues a magazine writing career by contributing regularly to The New Yorker magazine. He has also written for National Geographic, Natural History, Smithsonisan, Harper's,and Travel & Leisure,among others.

A very short horror story. It doesn't read like the typical Preston&Child novels. I felt like the ending came up short and I was left with nothing. At a mere 22 pages, it just didn't grab me. Two stars. It was okay.
December 18, 2017
Well that was disturbing! LOL!

Just ok…
I was in the mood for a Preston and Child book, but I didn’t want to read a 400 pager.
So, I settled for a short story.
Loved the setting in the creepy cabin in the woods, and I love the characters that stole an artifact from the museum.
What I didn’t love was that the story went nowhere. Not sure if this was a promo or not. If it was, why did I have to pay for it?

These thriller short stories make for some good exciting and quick reads. I have enjoyed reading the several that I have come across and thanks to my digital library I have access to lots of them. I even plan to branch out to a few new authors. As always Preston and Child deliver again, as expected. Even in a short story.
May 14, 2018
Well, I don't know what this was. A promo? Teaser? Lead-in to their next book? It certainly wasn't what I was expecting and I wish I hadn't wasted my time reading it.

Nice little filler
This very short story features Lt. D'Agosta, one of the most interesting supporting characters in the Pendergast series, in a plot where the enigmatic FIB agent is not involved. Nevertheless,the case still contains a hint of the macabre- a mysterious killer, and the theft of an ancient ritual knife, which will surely please fans of the writing team. While this story is a stand alone, it offers a nice little aside of what D'Agosta was doing while "off camera."

Basically a very weird story that takes an unexpected turn.

Not worth 99 cents
What?? 10 Page story? Should have been free. Interesting pretense for a story. Come on guys seriously ? Lame lame lame

When I bought this "book," it was only 99 cents through the Kindle Store. However, I didn't realize that it was only 24 pages long. I read it in less than an hour. Apparently, there are a number of books on Kindle that have been written by various authors that are labeled as "Thriller Shorts." I've read three or four novels by Preston & Child, and they've become two of my favorite authors. This short thriller features two thieves, Peratto and Woffer, who steal a $2M artifact from the Museum of Natural History. The artifact, an Incan Tumi knife, was used by the Incas for human sacrifice. Peratto and Woffer had made previous arrangements to hide out in a cabin on a lake to allow things to settle a bit. However, things did not settle down. This is an excellent short story for those who are interested in exploring the writings of Preston & Child. Just consider that they do so much more in their novels.

The beginning of this story got me thinking about how the authors would tie the relic (pun intended) in with D’Agosta and maybe lots more. I was looking forward to a story just with D’Agosta as the principal. But unfortunately, the story halted just when I thought it would get interesting and the character I had been waiting for just made a cameo.
I also wondered if this would tie in with another story or novel somewhere but I haven’t found anywhere that it has (and I’ve read all 19 Pendergast novels).
Bummer.

Short and not sweet
I realize that this was a short story when I purchased it . It was only $0.99 and I figured how could it be bad ? The fact that it ended up as an antiabortion, right to life screed was really a turn off. The politics are irrelevant, in my opinion. What bothers me is the fact that this ended up as a political morality story . This is not why I read Preston and child .

The good thing about picking up short stories by authors you love is you know you are not going to be disappointed, and I was not. The bad part is because I know and love these authors and know what they can do with some amazing novels, the short story is TOO short!!! This story could definitely have been expanded to a novella or even a full blown novel since I was already roped in.
These two authors, never a disappointment :)

I love buying and reading these types of books.
Boats, yachts, historical events and books about the sea are generally excellent. If there are sequels in your series, I would love to read them.
The beauties of owning the books of important authors cannot be discussed. I'm looking forward to your new books.
For friends who want to read this book, I leave the importance of reading a book here. I wish good luck to the sellers and customers...
Top 10 benefits of reading for all ages:
1. Reading Exercises the Brain
As we read, we need to remember the different characters and settings of a particular story. Even if you enjoy reading a book in one sitting, you need to remember the details during the time you devote to reading the book. Therefore, reading is an exercise for your brain that improves memory function.
2. Reading Is a (free) Form of Entertainment
Did you know that most of the popular TV series and movies are based on books? So why not indulge in the original form of entertainment by immersing yourself in reading? Most importantly, it's free with your Markham Public Library card.
3. Reading Improves Concentration and Focus
We all agree that there can be no reading without focus, and we need to concentrate on every page we read to fully understand the story. In a world where gadgets only speed up and shorten our attention span, we must constantly practice concentration and focus. Reading is one of the few activities that requires your undivided attention, so it improves your ability to concentrate.
4. Reading Improves Literacy
Have you ever read a book where you come across a word you don't know? Books have the power to improve your vocabulary by introducing you to new words. The more you read, the more your vocabulary will improve as well as your ability to communicate effectively. Also, reading improves writing skills by helping the reader understand and learn different writing styles.
5. Reading Improves Sleep
By creating a bedtime routine that includes reading, you can signal to your body that it's time to sleep. Now more than ever, we rely on increased screen time to get through the day. That's why you put your phone away and pick up a book and tell your brain it's time to calm down. Also, since reading helps you relieve stress, reading right before bed helps calm your mind and anxiety and improve your sleep quality.
6. Reading Increases General Knowledge
Books are always full of fun and interesting facts. Whether we read fiction or non-fiction, books have the ability to provide us with information we might not otherwise know. Reading various topics can make you a more knowledgeable person and therefore improve your speaking skills.
7. Reading Is Motivating
By reading books about heroes overcoming adversity, we are often encouraged to do the same. Whether it's a romance novel or a self-help book, the right book can motivate you to never give up and stay positive.

This was a book that showed up in a random Amazon email. I was unaware of its existence, and picked it up because I enjoy the authors' work, and I wanted to read some of their short fiction. It turned out to be a single, albeit enjoyable, short story. Vincent D'Agosta is a character I love from the Pendergast series, so it was a welcome surprise to find out he featured in this story, but overall, I felt it was a bit too short, and left me thinking it could have been fleshed out just a bit to make it more satisfying. My guess is it is a teaser trailer of sorts, and aspects of it may be explored more fully in a future novel (possibly a Pendergast novel!). All I can say is, while it was a fun read and I liked it, it was a snippet of a story, rather than a story, in my estimation.

2.5 stars (as much as it pains me)
I think this a very solid horror short story, like something from Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark but with an adult twist on the sinister factor. It is creepy, fast paced, has strong characters - all the good stuff. However, I don't think this book had enough of Vincent D'Agosta to really matter, he could have been any cop character and the story itself wouldn't change. I thought this story would be much more focused on him during his time away from New York City and Pendergast but he just makes an appearance at the end.
Killer ending though!

OMG ITS NIGHTMARE TIME.
The guys pulled an O. Henry on us.
I'm a hardcore fan and have read everything by both authors, but this was hit right out of the park.
The story took a minute to sink in, but when it did, there's now a fish hook in my brain.
Highly recommended.
Prepare to be broadsided :-)

A quick fishing trip to madness
Two thieves steal an ancient Incan knife and decide to hide out in the woods of New Hampshire until the heat does down. Great quick read that captures the fear bordering madness when you're in a situation that your mind cannot fully comprehend. Perhaps we'll meet the protagonist of this story in a future Preston/Child novel...I hope so.

Terror in the Woods
This was a wonderful too short story from the wonderful team of Preston and Child. It was a fantastic setup about a stolen Inca knife that was cursed. The story stopped just when things were getting interesting. I love their books, both single and the magic they make together.

D’Agosta features in this short story, but only comes in to view the chopped up thieves and return the stolen artifact/knife to the NY Museum. Turns out the killer, the Fisherman, tracks down and chops up anyone passing his VW van, who honks at his, Honk if you’re pro-choice bumper sticker. He is a whack-a-doodle pro-lifer.

Loved it
The story's bad guy was dark and creepy. I wish I could read more on his background. I think V.D. should have kept to the case ( perhaps a part 2 , pretty please with sprinkles on top).

Great but too short
I grab up everything these guys write and as quickly as they come out. This is a great start of a story but I think could be longer. Hopefully the sequel will come out quickly as it would be easy to forget what I just read.

Now I remember that short stories can be just as powerful as novels.
Actually more of a short short story but very detailed with a nice amount of suspense. It makes me want more of a story and that's a great thing!

Yuk.
I always approach a new story by Preston and\or Child with proof of my past satisfaction in hand. Got fooled this time. Big time. This is very formulaic, just like camping ghost stories. Yuk.

Poor beginning
If this is one of the first story that Lincoln & Child wrote together , then maybe I'll give a passing grade for their first attemp. After all, it's from there that they grew to fame !!!

This is really a bookshot by Preston but you know it's going to deliver either way.
Two hapless employees of a museum steal a valuable Incan knife with thoughts of selling it after hiding out in a cabin in the woods. Neither make it.

Gone Finishing
This short by the duo of Preston and Childs, is as aggressive thriller that builds in action from page one. The pulse racing ending in the forest and introduction of our friend, Lieutenant D'Agosta, caps a very well written short story.
