abstract
  • William "Bill" Smithback, Jr. was a journalist and participant in several of Agent Pendergast's cases and other extraordinary events including the Museum Beast Murders and the Discovery of Quivira. He first appeared in Relic as a writer commissioned by the museum to write a book about the Superstition Exhibition. Smithback never got to publish that book, but he did write a book about the Museum Beast Murders which was a great commercial success. Following the success of his book, Smithback took a job as crime reporter for the New York Post. He covered the Pamela Wisher murder and the New York Underground Murders for the Post. Smithback later participated in the expedition to the American Southwest to search for the lost city of Quivira. There he met archaeologist Dr. Nora Kelly, who later became his wife. Smithback and Kelly lived in an apartment at 666 West End Avenue on the Upper West Side. On their first anniversary, Smithback was stabbed to death in his apartment by a man named Colin Fearing who had supposedly died ten days earlier (Cemetery Dance).
