FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast is visiting the old family home in Louisiana. Surrounded by ghosts of the past, he can't help but think of Helen—his wife who tragically died twelve years ago.
But while examining her possessions, he makes a startling discovery—one that leads him to believe Helen's death was not accidental.
With the help of his trusted friend Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta, Pendergast embarks on a quest to uncover the mystery of his wife's final days. It's a journey that takes him deep into the dark
heart of her past, to a hidden obsession and secrets that some people would do anything to protect. But as the hunt for Helen's murderer ventures into the Bayou, Pendergast find himself faced with
a killer question: just who was the woman he married?
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“This may be the best of the Pendergast novels, if
for no other reason than we are permitted to see the man beneath the
cold, steely exterior. For fans of the earlier novels, a definite
must-read.” —Booklist (starred review)
“Once again, the bestselling authors show they have few peers at creating
taut scenes of suspense. Their restraint in the book's early sections
make the payoffs all the more compelling.” —Publishers Weekly
“Actor/narrator René Auberjonois’ honeyed tones add greatly to the
overall enjoyment of the book; his interpretation of the mysterious FBI
agent’s voice and manner is spot on.” —Library Journal
