Über diesen Titel
A SECRET ROOM, INGENIOUSLY HIDDEN INSIDE A VAST SEACOAST MANSION
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR LINCOLN CHILD AT HIS RIVETING BEST
Professor Jeremy Logan (the quirky and charismatic “enigmalogist” who specializes in solving problems of the strange or seemingly supernatural variety) receives an urgent summons from the director of Lux, one of the oldest and most respected think tanks in America. An unexplainable tragedy has taken place in the sprawling compound located on the coastline of Newport, Rhode Island. One of Lux’s most distinguished doctors, overcome by erratic behavior, violently attacked his assistant before meeting with a gruesome self-inflflflffllflicted end. Deeply shaken by the incident and the bizarre evidence left behind from the doctor’s final project—as well as recent troubling behavior among several of the think tank’s other scientists—Lux fears there is something more sinister occurring within its walls and looks to Jeremy Logan to investigate.
Logan quickly makes a surprising discovery. In a long-dormant wing of the estate, he uncovers an ingeniously hidden secret room, unknown and untouched for decades. The room is essentially a time capsule, fiffiilled with eerie machinery and obscure references to a top-secret experiment known as “Project S.” As Logan attempts to unravel its meaning, he begins to discern what transpired in that room—and why the frightening project was suddenly abandoned and sealed off many years before. As his work draws him ever deeper into harm’s way, Logan soon unleashes a series of catastrophic events upon the rest of Lux . . . and himself.
One of Lincoln Child’s most thrilling novels to date, The Forgotten Room is replete with exhilarating action, veiled history, and mesmerizing science—making for a truly intelligent page-turner.

• the hero is a slightly paranormal jack-of-all-trades: eccentric yet strangely flat and a bit slow – driving a very expensive car;
• the sidekick is just as cut and dried: a beautiful female scientist, almost as brilliant and slow-witted as the protagonist;
• the setting is absurdly grandiose: a mansion, a cruise ship, a forgotten monastery or a secret cave in the middle of New York – equipped as standard to resemble a Disneyland ride;
• scientists (whether they're evil or amiable) wear tweed coats;
• there is someone with a Scottish accent;
• someone else is listening to Alkan's "Grand Sonate";
• there's a least one quotation in Latin or medieval Italian;
• there's a priceless old master painting in an unlikely place;
• someone favours Bauhaus furniture over rococo;
• "rococo" doesn't meant rococo but anything old – it's synonymous with Edwardian and Tudor;
• as the plot thickens a storm / spring tide / volcanic eruption traps the protagonists and their dangerous adversaries in the same place (the mansion / the cruise ship / the Pharao's tomb …);
• as the plot thickens further the protagonist will be chased through a forgotten sub-basement / tidal cave / diamond mine (probably bleeding after a grazing shot);
• he'll escape thanks to the lucky discovery of a forgotten contraption (a pneumatic chute / a dumb waiter / an unfinished metro station from the 20s …);
• there's a "scientific" explanation for everything.
