Agent Pendergast returns in another suspense thriller from New York Times bestselling authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
Art critic Jeremy Grove is found dead, his face frozen in a mask of terror. He is discovered in a room barricaded from the inside, his body temperature is grotesquely high, the smell of brimstone is everywhere, and the unmistakable imprint of a claw is burned into the wall. As more bodies are discovered, their only connection the bizarre but identical manner of death, the world begins to wonder if the devil has, in fact, come to collect his due.
Teaming with police officer Vincent D'Agosta, Agent Pendergast is determined to solve a case that appears to defy everything, except supernatural logic. Their investigation takes them from the luxury estates of Long Island to the crumbling, legend-shrouded castles of the Italian countryside, where Pendergast faces the most treacherous and dangerous adversary of his career.

“Brimstone is
one of those rarest creatures—a scary suspense novel worth buying right now…It’s
that much fun. Combining the cliffhanger thrills of the 1940s movie serials,
the insider information that made The Da Vinci Code so
enjoyable, and a character in Agent Pendergast who gives Sherlock Holmes a run
for his money, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s Brimstone is
a top-notch, hands-down, no-contest winner.”
