Book of the Dead is a novel by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child first published in 2006. It is part of their informal Agent Pendergast series and the third and final novel in the Diogenes trilogy arc.Pendergast is locked in a high security prison, awaiting trial for the crimes his brother has committed. D'Agosta's career as an NYPD officer is all but over after his assistance to Pendergast. Margo still fights for her life in intensive care after narrowly escaping Diogenes. Life must go on though, and Nora Kelley is put in charge of putting together a high profile exhibit for the museum, reopening The Tomb of Senef — a complete Egyptian tomb that was transported to the museum brick by brick — at the behest of a donor who suddenly gives the museum ten million dollars for this sole purpose. As she and her colleagues work to restore the tomb on schedule, strange rumors of the tomb's curse and bloody past start to circulate, and terrible things begin to happen to the people working the restoration.All the while, D'Agosta gathers Pendergast's friends to enact a daring rescue from an impenetrable prison.Not to be confused with the Web Serial Novel of the same name by RinoZ. | |

Gone Horribly Wrong: Diogenes thinks that his plan to get Constance to kill herself is simple and straightforward. Instead, he gives her a new reason to live — to take her revenge on him. | |

Poor Communication Kills: If only Diogenes had known that Aloysius had suppressed his memories of the incident that drove the former crazy, he might have been more forgiving. Instead, he naturally assumed his brother was actively lying about his role to escape blame. | |

Break the Haughty | |
| Book of the Dead (2006) / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
Break the Haughty: FBI Agent Coffey makes clear that he considers the warden and the entire guard staff of Herkmoor Prison to be beneath him in the chain of command and threatens them all with the worst kind of punishment for disobeying his "orders". When the warden says he has Coffey on tape, threatening two of his guards and inadvertently precipitating Pendergast's escape attempt, Coffey collapses into a chair and whimpers that they can clear up this "misunderstanding" without informing Coffey's own superiors... and then another guard calls the warden and tells him that it wasn't an attempt; Pendergast has in fact escaped. | |

Driven to Suicide: Comstock Pendergast placed a single shot derringer in his magic lantern box intended for the victim to put themselves out of their misery. Whatever horrible things were in the show, it was enough to cause a seven-year-old to prefer death. Diogenes masterminds a seduction of Constance simply to drive her to kill herself. | |

Asshole Victim | |
| Book of the Dead (2006) / int_8ed5c6e4 | comment |
Asshole Victim: Glinn specifically chose the prisoner Pendergast has to kill to get out of prison because of his heinous crimes. He deserved to die, so it wasn't all that wrong to kill him. | |

Never My Fault | |
| Book of the Dead (2006) / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: Inverted. Diogenes assumes that Aloysius feels this way about The Event. He never knew that Aloysius had blocked out the memory so that he was unable to apologize or take responsibility for what happened. His later, fervent denials that he ever did anything to hurt Diogenes simply furthered this conviction. When Pendergast is "complimenting" Coffey on his handling of the Museum crisis in The Relic, Coffey squirms for a moment at the memory, before hastily thinking that he's always been too hard on himself, and no one could have been expected to handle that situation well. | |

"Not So Different" Remark: Diogenes seduces Constance using many speeches about how alike they are and setting himself up as a kindred soul to her. He even fakes suicide scars so she will relate to him. | |

Continuity Nod: When first venturing to the Tomb of Senef, Adrian, Nora and Menzies note a stain on the frescoed walls. It's blood from the Mbwun attacks. When arriving at the opening gala, Smithback notes the presence of Wanda Meursault, the actress who used the Sacred Images opening controversy to boost her exposure. | |

Diogenes gets one as he attempts to make his escape on a train and discovers that Constance has come on board his car with a gun aimed right at his face. | |

Trauma-Induced Amnesia | |
| Book of the Dead (2006) / int_b66a24a7 | comment |
Trauma-Induced Amnesia: Pendergast has no memory of The Event which made his brother evil, to the point that he honestly insists that it did not happen and that Diogenes was simply "born bad". The horrors that he saw happen to his brother in the magic lantern box were so traumatic that he repressed the entire memory of going into the sub-basement with his brother. When he awoke from the ordeal, he believed his parents' story about his brother being sick with scarlet fever. Diogenes believed that he was simply denying that he had done anything to him and had no remorse, causing his undying hatred of his older brother. | |
