Publisher Description

Pendergast--the world's most enigmatic FBI Special Agent--returns to New York City to investigate a murderous cult.

William Smithback, a New York Times reporter, and his wife Nora Kelly, a Museum of Natural History archaeologist, are brutally attacked in their apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Eyewitnesses claim, and the security camera confirms, that the assailant was their strange, sinister neighbor--a man who, by all reports, was already dead and buried weeks earlier. While Captain Laura Hayward leads the official investigation, Pendergast and Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta undertake their own private--and decidedly unorthodox--quest for the truth. Their serpentine journey takes them to an enclave of Manhattan they never imagined could exist: a secretive, reclusive cult of Obeah and vodou which no outsiders have ever survived.

"Really enjoyed this. The opening of the story really grabbed my attention. There were some far-fetched, unrealistic elements but also some beautifully described settings. It's the first book I've read in this series but won't be the last :-) "

Quotes

  • “This taut page-turner can only add to the authors’ growing fan base.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “No one has ever accused this writing team of lacking guts…Individually, these two writers turn out books that are solid, competent, workmanlike. Together, they manage to kick it up several notches, producing novels that are elegantly written and feature unique characters and eerie, compelling stories. For fans of the Pendergast series, this is a must-read.”

    — Booklist
  • “Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child have a reputation for writing sinister horror stories set in New York City. This one does not disappoint…With the underlying story featuring zombies and the undead, it takes the sober Auberjonois to help maintain the credibility of the plot. His sincere delivery is perfect for a strange story that is more than a little creepy.”

    " Another fine mystery from our intrepid special agent Pendergrast. This is my fourth or fifth novel by this duo of writers and I enjoy these story's every time. This one agent Pendergast is chasing a religious cult that seems to be able to conjure up zombies only Preston/Child can write. If you follow the adventures of this special FBI agent then you will eat up this book and won't want to wait for the next one. "
