Catch-all tag for a series of novels by authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, most of which feature FBI Special Agent Aloysius X.L. Pendergast. The novels tend to feature a mix of the police procedural, horror, and thriller genres. More often than not, the stories involve events that seem supernatural, but are eventually show to have a rational (if somewhat far-fetched) explanation.

Added DiffLines:

** ''Fever Dream'' apparently resolves what happened to Pendergast's wife, even though it ends on a {{Cliffhanger}}. ''Cold Vengeance'' shows that the truth is much more complicated, and ''Two Graves'' is an ImmediateSequel.

* CreateYourOwnVillain: While Diogenes' evil was always presented as InTheBlood, in ''Book of The Dead'' it's revealed that he's the way he is because when they were children, [[spoiler: Pendergast shoved Diogenes into a family antique which turned out to be a device designed to drive the occupant insane.]] Pendergast is quite distraught when he realizes he created Diogenes all along (he'd suppressed the memory up until that point).
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Several in this series. ''Still Life With Crows'' probably takes the cake with all the murders [[spoiler: being done in the fashion of classic children's nursery rhymes.]]
