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.

Customer Reviews
As a long time fan of Preston & Childs work, I have to say they just keep getting better. Their work is smart, timely, fun and a pure guilty pleasure. They never disappoint and finding out the answer to the mystery is only half the fun. These guys are just plain talented and it shows. This is a fantastic book, Agent Pendergast gets better and better. Now I have to suffer until the next one is out!!!
