The Bone Vault - Linda Fairstein (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
They have contributed immeasurably to the culture of our country for more than a century. In addition to the many pleasure-filled hours I have spent inside their walls, there are wonderful books that reveal their histories and the range of their treasures. Among those I found most helpful were:Stuffed Animals and Pickled Heads by Stephen Asma;Give Me My Father's Body by Kenn Harper;Making the Mummies Dance by Thomas Hoving;Dinosaurs in the Attic by Douglas Preston;The Mummy Congress by Heather Pringle;Merchants and Masterpieces by Calvin Tompkins; andA Gathering of Wonders by Joseph Wallace. As always, the archives ofThe New York Times had a splendid assortment of facts and features. The usual suspects sustained me throughout the long process of writing the story. Robert Morgenthau, the great District Attorney of New York County, and my devoted colleagues in the Sex Crimes Prosecution Unit of that office, and in the Special Victims Unit of the NYPD, will always be the best in the business.
