Vincent D’Agosta still can’t believe his friend, FBI Agent Pendergast, is dead. Worse, he’s been asked, posthumously, to take up Pendergast’s most crucial mission: stop his brother, Diogenes Pendergast, an insane criminal genius.

When Agent Pendergast reappears in D’Agosta’s life, perfectly healthy, the mission grows more dangerous. Diogenes is murdering people who have been close to Pendergast. Forensic evidence left at each scene points in a disturbing direction, throwing D’Agosta and Pendergast into a dangerous race against time.

The heavy-hitting writing team of Preston and Child up the stakes in this installment of Agent Pendergast’s grisly tale. With fast-paced action, exquisitely drawn characters, and the flavor offered by the New York setting, readers will not want to put this novel down until the last page has been turned.
