"Loved it. Agent Pendergast is hands down one of the best literary "heroes" out there. This is an excellent ride, and super fascinating. If you have not read any of the Pendergast novels, I highly recommend them. I would say to start at the beginning, but truthfully they are all fun."

— Lacy (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “A calibrated thriller from two masters of the craft.”

    — Barnes & Noble editorial review
  • “Once again, the bestselling authors show they have few peers at creating taut scenes of suspense. Their restraint in the book’s early sections make the payoffs all the more compelling.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Odd but brilliant...Narrator René Auberjonois is equally adept at portraying Pendergast’s upper-crust Southern origins and New York cop Vincent D’Agosta’s brusque directness. With Auberjonois’ consistent narration, the quirky threads of the story...eventually come together to create an intriguing premise. As Pendergast discovers that his beloved wife kept a myriad of secrets, Auberjonois’ characterization dramatizes the special agent’s confusion over his wife’s loyalty.”

    — AudioFile
  • “This is no dream; it’s the authors’ best book in years...Not to be missed by either newcomers or die-hard fans.”

    — Library Journal
  • “Readers of previous Pendergast novels will welcome this installment starring the exceedingly peculiar FBI special agent. Stylish, dark, and tense.”

    — Kirkus Reviews
  • René Auberjonois...lends the proper air of gravitas to his performance. 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.

    — AudioFile Magazine on CEMETERY DANCE
  • [A] suspenseful tale of urban terror...this taut page-turner can only add to the authors' growing fan base.

    — Publishers Weekly on CEMETERY DANCE
  • Narrator As Pendergast discovers that his beloved wife kept a myriad of secrets, Auberjonois's characterization dramatizes the special agent's confusion over his wife's loyalty.

    " One of my favorite Pendergast stories as we see him on the hunt to find out the truth behind his wife's abrupt death all those years ago. As always Rene has given an A grade performance of not only the overall story but of Pendergast himself. "

    " This book had Agent Pendergast doing his black suit wearing, rolls driving, mysterious family background stuff as usual. A nice diversion for the summer if you like the Preston-Child formula. This book was much less supernatural than the last few books they have put out. No evil Tibetan whirling dervishes flying around a cruise ship in this title. Thank-God! I had about given up on them after the last book, but decided I may stick with them after this latest work. "

    " Think I'm losing my Lincoln & Child buzz just a bit ... not bad at all, Pendergast is always good for a little Holmesian satisfaction, but I recently re-read The Relic and the last few books just can't hold a candle to its momentum. "

    " An excellent Pendergast story... Surprisingly emotional for him. The ending was left open for the next novel. Not all loose ends were tied up, so it has left me waiting for the next adventure. "

    " All of Preston and Child's Pendergast books are brilliant, but this is my second very favoritest (after Cabinet of Curiosities). It's suspenseful...and it has THE best revenge scene I have ever read. There are times I'll pull it of the shelf just to read that bit again. "
