Description

Pendergast-the planet's most enigmatic FBI Special Agent-returns to Nyc to research a murderous conspiracy. Bill Smithback, a Brand New York Times writer, and his girlfriend Nora Kelly, a Gallery of Natural History archaeologist, are savagely assaulted within their condominium on Manhattan's Upper West Side. Eyewitnesses state, and the protection camera confirms, the attacker was their peculiar, menacing friend-a guy who, by all accounts, was already dead and hidden months earlier. While Chief Laura Hayward brings the state investigation, Pendergast and Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta tackle their very own highly unorthodox -and personal -pursuit of the reality.
