BOOK SYNOPSIS:
A long-buried family secret resurfaces when one of Aloysius Pendergast’s most implacable enemies shows up on his doorstep as a murdered corpse. The mystery has all the hallmarks of the perfect murder, save for an enigmatic clue: a piece of turquoise lodged in the stomach of the deceased. The gem leads Pendergast to an abandoned mine on the shore of California’s desolate Salton Sea, which in turn propels him on a journey of discovery deep into his family’s sinister past. But Pendergast learns there is more at work than a ghastly episode of family history: he is soon stalked by a subtle killer bent on vengeance over an ancient transgression. In short order, Pendergast is caught in a wickedly clever plot, which will leave him stricken in mind and body…and may well end with his death.
REVIEW:
4.5 Hearts If you have not read a Pendergast novel I have one question for you. Why not? The writing partnership of Preston and Child has been dynamite and this series just keeps getting better and better. Pendergast is like… oh heck I can’t even think of a way to describe him. He is an enigma and his history is so secretive but this book opens it up a little bit which was great to read.
This book took a little bit of a turn with the main character which made it even more interesting and probably one of my favorites in a long time and that is saying something. The places that Preston and Child takes Pendergast makes you want to jump in the car and hit the road. Pendergast is truly a man of mystery and one that I can’t get enough of.
You should really read the entire story before you read this one but if you chose to grab this book up first just know that you will be heading to the store or online to get the beginnings of this incredible series.
