About the book
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 finds herself face to face with Manhattan's most notorious serial killer, Enoch Leng, hoping to negotiate for her sister's life. However, her efforts are in vain as she is double-crossed and left empty-handed, consumed with anger.
A clever trap is set...
Unbeknownst to Leng, Pendergast's enigmatic brother, Diogenes, unexpectedly enters the scene, offering his assistance for reasons known only to him. Disguised as a clergyman, Diogenes embeds himself in the infamous Five Points slum of New York, orchestrating events like a master strategist, observing Leng's every move...waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
A vengeful angel will not be deterred...
Meanwhile, as Pendergast dedicates himself to saving the unstable Constance in her relentless pursuit of revenge, she decides to take matters into her own hands: saving her siblings from a tragic fate and exacting brutal payback on Leng. But Leng proves to be one step ahead, with a shocking revelation in store for them all...
