Book description
Devastated by the discovery that his wife, Helen, was murdered, Special
Agent Pendergast must have retribution. But revenge is not simple. As he
stalks his wife's betrayers - a chase that takes him from the wild moors
of Scotland to the bustling streets of New York City and the darkest
bayous of Louisiana - he is also forced to dig further into Helen's
past. And he is stunned to learn that Helen may have been a collaborator
in her own murder.
Peeling back the layers of deception, Pendergast realizes that the
conspiracy is deeper, goes back generations, and is more monstrous than
he could have ever imagined - and everything he's believed, everything
he's trusted, everything he's understood . . . may be a horrific lie.
Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are the co-authors of a string of
bestselling suspense novels, including the adventures of both Agent
Pendergast and new recruit, Gideon Crew.
