Publisher's summary

Preston & Child continue their #1 bestselling series featuring FBI Special Agent Pendergast and Constance Greene, as they take a final stand against New York’s deadliest serial killer: Pendergast’s own ancestor…and Constance’s greatest enemy.

A desperate bargain is broken…

Constance Greene confronts Manhattan’s most dangerous serial killer, Enoch Leng, bartering for her sister's life—but she is betrayed and turned away empty-handed, incandescent with rage.

A clever trap is set…

Unknown to Leng, Pendergast’s brother, Diogenes, appears unexpectedly, offering to help—for mysterious reasons of his own. Disguised as a cleric, Diogenes establishes himself in New York's notorious Five Points slum, manipulating events like a chess master, watching Leng’s every move…and awaiting his own chance to strike.

A vengeful angel will not be deterred…

Meanwhile, as Pendergast focuses on saving the unstable Constance in her fanatical quest for vengeance, she strikes out on her own: to rescue her beloved siblings from a tragic fate and take savage retribution on Leng. But Leng is one step ahead and has a surprise for them all…

Another excellent Pendergast adventure

Wonderful description of 19th century NYC. A fulfilling closure to the continued story arc. Provided an intriguing perspective of parallel timelines.

Don’t miss the details!

This was a great listen— excellent story, characters, and narration. As I disappeared into the story, I was struck with the amount and richness of the language used. The terms used to bring the settings of this period to life were so very accurate and were woven into the story in exactly the right way to immerse (and actually educate) the reader/listener without being at all clunky or distracting. This is something I have found with all the Preston & Child works— but it seemed even richer here.
I enjoyed it so much that I’m going to listen again right now—I suggest you do the same!

It kept my interest. I loved the whole story.

I loved how Constance got her revenge. I would have loved to find out about her siblings life after Constance left. And I loved how Diogenes, Pendergast and Constance worked together. Plus, I’m a sucker for happy endings.

A great blend of strong personalities

Another enjoyable adventure in Pendergast’s world. This time Constance and Diogenes share the stage. I love these books. With mystery, suspense, atmosphere, twists and turns, wonderful descriptive prose that brings place, time and characters to incredible life, you can’t miss.
