Description
A desperate bargain is broken...
Constance Greene confronts Manhattan's most dangerous serial killer, Enoch Leng, bartering for her sister's life - but she is betrayed and turned away empty-handed, incandescent with rage.
A clever trap is set...
Unknown to Leng, Pendergast's brother, Diogenes, appears unexpectedly, offering to help--for mysterious reasons of his own. Disguised as a cleric, Diogenes establishes himself in New York's notorious Five Points slum, manipulating events like a chess master, watching Leng's every move...and awaiting his own chance to strike.
A vengeful angel will not be deterred...
Meanwhile, as Pendergast focuses on saving the unstable Constance in her fanatical quest for vengeance, she strikes out on her own: to rescue her beloved siblings from a tragic fate and take savage retribution on Leng. But Leng is one step ahead and has a surprise for them all...

About the Author
Reviews
"You will rarely see two characters as complex and compelling as these two, and you will rarely see a series as consistently well written as this one."--Booklist (Starred Review)
PRAISE FOR CROOKED RIVER:
"Preston and Child know how to craft compelling stories that are both baffling and surprising. The cast of characters feels authentic and moves the story forward in unexpected ways. . . the authors are masters of the procedural with a gothic flair."--Associated Press
PRAISE FOR THE CABINET OF DR. LENG:
"This book is a lot of fun. The writing is crisp and lightly ornate, as usual, and the story is inventive and suspenseful."--Booklist
PRAISE FOR BLOODLESS:
"Leave it to the imaginations of Preston and Child . . . Spooky and surreal [and] wonderful fun."
--Kirkus"Bloodless is rife with inventive scenarios, amusing exchanges (especially between oft-impatient Coldmoon and eternally placid Pendergast) and tantalizingly spooky mysteries, topped off with a gloriously wild finale that is as action-packed as it is memorable."--BookPage (Starred Review)
