New York Times bestseller Lincoln Child returns
with a riveting new thriller featuring the charismatic and
quirky Professor Jeremy Logan, renowned investigator of the
strange and the inexplicable, as he uncovers a long-lost
secret experiment only rumored to have existed.
Jeremy Logan (The Third Gate, Deep Storm) is
an "enigmalogist"—an investigator who specializes in
analyzing phenomena that have no obvious explanation. In
this newest novel Logan finds himself on the storied
coastline of Newport, Rhode Island, where he has been
retained by Lux, one of the oldest and most respected think
tanks in America. Just days earlier, a series of frightening
events took place in the sprawling seaside mansion that
houses the organization. One of its most distinguished
doctors began acting erratically—violently attacking an
assistant in the mansion's opulent library and, moments
later, killing himself in a truly shocking fashion.
Terrified by the incident and the bizarre evidence left
behind, the group hires Logan to investigate—discreetly—what
drove this erudite man to madness.
His work leads him to an unexpected find. In a long-dormant
wing of the estate, Logan uncovers an ingeniously hidden
secret room, concealed and apparently untouched for decades.
The room is a time capsule, filled with eerie and obscure
scientific equipment that points to a top secret project
long thought destroyed, known only as "Project S."
Ultimately, the truth of what Project S was . . . and what
has happened in that room . . . will put Logan in the path
of a completely unexpected danger.
One of his most thrilling novels to date, The Forgotten
Room is replete with veiled, fascinating history, and
all the exhilarating action and science that are the
hallmarks of a Lincoln Child blockbuster.
