"My single favorite recurring character in a mystery / thriller series. Agent Pendergast is an eccentric New Orleans bred FBI special agent who mostly resides in NYC. His family has made their fortune from a checkered past dating back to the 1800s in early America. The series features some super natural phenomena along with some plotlines that look super natural only to reveal that the villain was fooling everyone (except Pendergast of course...) Features lots of recurring characters and while any book can be read stand alone, I would recommend starting from the beginning (Relic) if you want to try Pendergast. All the books are great."

Quotes
-
“Intriguing…Think Sherlock Holmes locked in a death struggle with his smarter brother, Mycroft. Like Brimstone, this novel doesn’t end so much as simply pause while the authors work on the next installment…Pretty darn good.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“Engaging…Listeners need not be familiar with those other offerings to become thoroughly immersed in this story…Helping to orient new listeners is the energetic work of Scott Brick, who flawlessly voices the smooth Southern drawl of FBI Agent Aloysius Pendergast and his evil brother, Diogenes, as well as the tough New York accent of NYPD Detective Vincent D’Agosta. Authors and narrator will likely make listeners seek out other Lincoln Child efforts new and old.”
— AudioFile -
“This is an ambitious novel with a gimmicky plot that could have landed with a resounding thud. Instead, the story soars; the cast of familiar characters…is given a chance to stretch, and the authors deliver an exhilarating finale. Good stuff, and there’s more to come, as the novel’s last lines make clear.”
— Booklist -
“Goes down like cheddar-flavored potato chips.”

" I loved this book. It kept me listening until I finished it....now for the next one!!! "
— Linda, 4/7/2017 -
" Love this book! Diogenes is a great bad guy and it was a fun read. It made me cry out "No" more than once. A must read! "
— Rachel, 2/18/2014 -
" First I read the third book in the series, then this book, which is the 2nd book, why, because it is not obvious. Shouldn't an author number them, like they did in Star Wars. I liked this book, it explained a lot in the 3rd book, now I will read the first book, which should help this book. I am a little tired of Preston/Child, the books are so similar. They have a formula that works and they are going to ride the train. Now on to Brimstone. "
— Craig, 2/18/2014 -
" A very nice book, unfortunately I've read the last part of the Diognees trilogy first so some of the twists hadn't had the full impact on me. "
— Christian, 2/6/2014 -
" I really do hate that Diogenes. "
— Conni, 2/6/2014 -
" Not my favorite book in this series. It was good, but left a lot of unresolved issues. "
— Gini, 1/25/2014 -
" I don't even remember seeing this book, becuase it is the second in a trilogy. I couldnt put it down, and quickly moved to the third. I loved it!! Great suspense, great character in Pendergast. "
— Audrad, 1/18/2014 -
" It is really really rare for me to read more than one book in a series, but I love these books. This one wasn't as good as others in the series, but still a suspenseful and action packed mystery. "
— Marisa, 1/10/2014 -
" This sequel was not as good as Brimstone but was still a good read overall. "
— Tina, 1/10/2014 -
" The first Pendergast novel I read and I was hooked. "
— Jacque, 1/7/2014 -
" Fantastic book. I am thoroughly enjoying this trilogy of books, with each one the story has gotten more involved and harder to predict. I have immediately jumped into the last book and can't wait to see how the series will conclude. "
— Amanda, 12/29/2013 -
" Awesome game of cat and mouse between Special Agent Pendagast and his Diabolical brother Diogenes "
— Rob, 12/29/2013 -
" The second of their unoffical trilogy. Similar in style to the rest. "
— Keith, 12/23/2013 -
" This is part of the series with the character Diogenes. I loved it. He is such an evil person and the story is a nail biter. "
— Patricia, 12/18/2013 -
" More pure mystery sugar! One more to go in this series and I will be completely sugared out!!! "
— Rachael, 12/9/2013 -

— Charles, 10/3/2013 -

" more, more, love them all so far "
— Dauphineot, 5/25/2013 -
" Very satisfying book #10 from these authors. It tied in characters from all the books. Great! "
— Allison, 5/10/2013 -
" Having enjoyed book #1 of the trilogy, I'm looking forward to #2...I love quirky characters and in the best tradition of Agatha Christie...agent Pendergast certainly fills the bill...he thwarts Diogenes, but lands in jail...looking forward to book #3 "
— Mark, 4/17/2013 -
" Guilty pleasure. Good vacation reading. "
— Kerry, 3/19/2013 -
" One of my favorite Pendergast books. The black and white, good v. evil, brother v. brother element of this book makes it a real page-turner. I refuse to provide spoilers. Read the book. "
— Dustin, 1/16/2013 -
" This was the first book of this series that I have read and I liked it enough to go back and start at the beginning of the series. "
— Sheila, 1/6/2013 -
" Didn't impress me as much as the ones that came before. Ties up the Diogenes trilogy...may try it again to be fair, but sisn't leave much of an impression. "
— Mike, 12/4/2012 -
" Great book ,I love following these charcters. Huge cliff hanger, I wanted to read the page of the next book immediatly. "
