Publisher Description



Yesterday, Special Agent Pendergast still mourned the loss of his beloved wife, Helen, who died in a tragic accident in Africa twelve years ago.

Today, he discovers she was murdered.

Tomorrow, he will learn her most guarded secrets, leaving him to wonder: Who was the woman I married? Why was she murdered? And, above all . . . Who murdered her?

"As with the novels featuring his brother, we get to see a more personal side of Pendergast in this one, focused on the events surrounding his wife's death. I thought it was a solid addition to the series (MUCH better than the previous book). My biggest complaint is that it ends with one big issue still unresolved. Much as I love the idea of a trilogy based on Pendergast's wife and think it will be a great one, I would have waited and read them all together if I'd known what this book was setting up."

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
  • “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.

    " It pains me to say this but I might be dine with the series. This book was in trouble from the start. I didn't even buy the mystery. I have struggled through the last few books. I will probably give it one more but it had better be good. "

    " My first Pendegrast novel. I'll give him another shot, but this wasn't as good as I was hoping it would be given the fantastic start. Book starts and ends pretty well, but gets pretty muddled in the middle. Really took a bit of effort to power through. In fairness, this is the tenth book in a series that I haven't read any of the previous novels. Could be that this just doesn't do well as a stand alone. Seemed to be just a bunch of unexplained or loose ends. Agent Pendegrast not the most lovable character by a long shot. "

    " I've read most of the Pendergast books in short order - there is always a twist and a great Metro read. This is one of the best ones I've read. I'm only annoyed because it ended on a cliff hanger and I don't have the next book in the series in hand! "

    " Aloyisious Pendergast, in his most revealing story yet, is out for blood. The normally reserved FBI agent becomes agitated when he discovers that his wife was murdered, and not accidentally killed by a lion 12 years ago on safari. I wasn't totally satisfied with this read, only because there were some dangleing strings left that I'm sure the authors will pick back up on in another book. "

    " I just finished this book last night or early this am, however you want to look at it. I couldn't put it down after I started it. I read it cover to cover non-stop. It left a few things hanging, but I am sure that is to tantalize you for the next Pendergast book. "
