Two Graves

About the book

After witnessing his wife, Helen, being brazenly abducted, Special Agent Pendergast becomes consumed with fury as he relentlessly pursues the kidnappers. Despite chasing them across the country and into Mexico, the kidnappers manage to escape, leaving Pendergast devastated as he retreats to his New York apartment, shutting himself off from the outside world.

However, when a series of peculiar murders occur in various Manhattan hotels, committed by a boy who seems to have a supernatural ability to evade capture, NYPD Lieutenant D'Agosta seeks out the help of his friend Pendergast. Initially hesitant, Pendergast soon realizes that the murders are a cryptic message from his wife's abductors. But what is the message and what does it signify?

As the kidnappers target those closest to Pendergast once again, the FBI agent is filled with a renewed sense of vengeance and sets out to locate and eliminate those responsible. His pursuit leads him deep into the uncharted forests of South America, where he confronts an ancient evil that, far from being vanquished, is stirring once more... with potentially world-changing ramifications.

As Confucius famously said, "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, first dig two graves." Pendergast is on the brink of discovering just how poignant those words truly are.
