A small Kansas town has turned into a killing ground.

Amid golden cornfields, FBI Special Agent Pendergast discovers evil in the blood of America's heartland.

No one is safe.

"SPOILER ALERT! I must admit before I start writing about how awesome this book was- it did drag in the middle. However like all preston-child books the ending rocks my face off. Just as I was thinking to myself, 'I like this storyline, but I have to say I like the setting of the musuem and the library, etc. from the other books better', the cave was introduced and my face melted off again."

Quotes

  • “A scary campfire chillfest.”

    — Publishers Weekly
  • “Disturbing…Thrilling.” 

    — Audiofile
  • “As usual, Preston and Child deftly mix the real and the surreal, creating an atmosphere in which everything, for reasons we can't quite nail down, seems a tad off-kilter. Call it creeping paranoia, perhaps, or the dreadful certainty that something awful is about to happen. Whatever you call it, it's a recipe for success.” 

    — Booklist
  • Smart, skillful writers who have fun spinning their tall tale, and if you enjoy things-that-go-bump-in-the-night thrillers, you'll have fun reading it.

    — Washington Post Book World
  • From the first page, STILL LIFE WITH CROWS is creepy, disturbing, and altogether fascinating: Preston and Child at their best.

    — Salem Statesman Journal (OR)
  • Highly entertaining . . . a creepy, well-plotted novel . . . Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's trademark mix of mystery, suspense, horror, and history proves to be a combination that works.

    — Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

    " I love this novel so much it's almost got abit of a Stephen King vibe to it. Pendergast in the middle of nowhere investigating more bizzarre murders where each clue he finds leads to more questions than answers. Definitely one of my favorite Pendergast novels. "

    " This was a real page turner. Pendergast is at his weirdly best and the young girl that shared the action was a very sympathetic character. I sort-of guessed the ending, but some of it was still a surprise. "
