BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A secret chamber.
A mysterious shipwreck.
A murder in the desolate salt marshes.
A seemingly straightforward private case turns out to be much more complicated-and sinister-than Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast ever could have anticipated.
Pendergast, together with his ward Constance Greene, travels to the quaint seaside village of Exmouth, Massachusetts, to investigate the theft of a priceless wine collection. But inside the wine cellar, they find something considerably more disturbing: a bricked-up niche that once held a crumbling skeleton.
REVIEW:
This is the 15th in the series and that alone should tell you how great this series is. I mean 15 of them in a relatively short people of time and they are all (or mostly) best sellers. The Preston-Child combination is truly one that can not be beat and this story goes back to the feel of the beginning of the series.
Pendergast is well odd… to me he is a modern day Sherlock Holmes. He investigates in a way that most don’t. He sees little things that most would miss and he is just odd in a good kind of way. In this one Pendergast goes back to his roots of being a P.I. when he finds something more is going on than just a theft of expensive wines.
I love this series. If you haven’t read this series I have one question… WHY NOT?
