Synopsis "The Third Gate "

An archaeological expedition digging where it shouldn’t. . . A crown so powerful it is rumored to be cursed. . . And the one man who can explain it all. . . Deep in a nearly impassable swamp south of the Egyptian border, an archaeological team is searching for the burial chamber of King Narmer, the fabled pharaoh. Narmer's crown might be buried with him: the elusive "double" crown of the two Egypts. Amid the nightmarish, disorienting tangle of mud and dead vegetation, strange things begin to happen. Could an ancient curse be responsible? Jeremy Logan, history professor and master interpreter of bizarre and inexplicable enigmas, is brought onto the project to investigate. What he finds raises fresh questions . . . and immediate alarm.

Lincoln Child is an American author born on October 13, 1957 in Westport, Connecticut. He is known for his thriller and techno-thriller novels, many of them co-written with Douglas Preston. Before turning to writing, he worked as an editor at St. Martin's Press, where he founded the horror division of the publishing house. Later, he served as a systems analyst at MetLife until his first novel, "The Relic" (1995), written with Preston, allowed him to dedicate himself full-time to literature.

Among his most notable works are "The Cabinet of Curiosities" (2002) and "Dance of Death" (2005), both co-written with Preston and belonging to the thriller genre. Additionally, he has developed the series starring Professor Jeremy Logan, which includes titles such as "The Forgotten Room" (2015). Several of his novels have been New York Times bestsellers, consolidating his reputation in the field of suspense and mystery literature.
