Cold Vengeance: An Agent Pendergast Novel

Description

Devastated by the discovery that his wife, Helen, was murdered, Special Agent Pendergast must have retribution. But revenge is not simple. As he stalks his wife's betrayers - a chase that takes him from the wild moors of Scotland to the bustling streets of New York City and the darkest bayous of Louisiana - he is also forced to dig further into Helen's past. And he is stunned to learn that Helen may have been a collaborator in her own murder. Peeling back the layers of deception, Pendergast realises that the conspiracy is deeper, goes back generations and is more monstrous than he could have ever imagined - and everything he's believed, everything he's trusted, everything he's understood...may be a horrific lie.

Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child are the co-authors of a string of bestselling suspense novels, including the adventures of both Agent Pendergast and new recruit, Gideon Crew.

The pace of this entry in the increasingly popular Preston & Child series is more steady than usual, but the authors willingness to take their time ultimately pays dividends in terms of texture. * GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
