Relic

In just a few days, New York's world-famous Museum of Natural History is set to unveil a spectacular new exhibition. But before the celebration can begin, a nightmare descends upon the museum.
Within its pitch-dark corridors and hidden chambers, far from the eyes of the public, visitors are being slaughtered one by one in acts of unimaginable brutality. The autopsy reports reveal a chilling possibility: no human could have committed these murders. It is as though some ancient force of nature has emerged from the shadows, unleashing a primal terror upon the modern world.
Yet such is the folly of mankind. Despite the mounting death toll, the museum's administrators remain determined to proceed with their lavish gala. Even as the blood has scarcely dried, they refuse to abandon their celebration of wealth, prestige, and spectacle.
Now the burden falls on Margo Green, a young researcher at the museum. She must uncover who—or what—is behind the carnage before it is too late. But the sands of time are running out. Can she unravel the mystery before another horrific massacre turns the museum into a river of blood? Or will time itself prove to be her greatest enemy?
