About the book
Pendergast returns to NYC in the newest novel from New York Times bestselling authors Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, featuring the enigmatic FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast.
NY Times reporter William Smithback and his wife Nora Kelly, an archeologist at the Museum of Natural History, are discovered brutally attacked in their Upper West side Manhattan apartment. Witnesses and security footage identify the killer as the strange, sinister man who had previously lived in Smithback and Kelly's apartment and who had died in a gruesome manner one year prior.
Captain Hayward leads the official homicide investigation, while Pendergast and D'Agosta embark on a private quest for the truth. Their journey leads them to a hidden and dangerous part of Manhattan they never knew existed: a clandestine and deadly hotbed of Obeah, the West Indian Zombii cult of sorcery and magic. Here, they realize that their true danger has only just begun.
