Summary

A USA Today bestseller

A body is found in the attic of a fabulous Long Island estate.
There is a claw print scorched into the wall, and the stench of sulfur chokes the air.

Has the devil come to claim his due?
Some things can't be undone.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

Brimstone is one of those rarest creatures—a scary suspense novel worth buying right now…It’s that much fun. Combining the cliffhanger thrills of the 1940s movie serials, the insider information that made The Da Vinci Code so enjoyable, and a character in Agent Pendergast who gives Sherlock Holmes a run for his money, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s Brimstone is a top-notch, hands-down, no-contest winner.” Dan Simmons, New York Times bestselling author of Drood
“A highly compelling thriller…Preston and Child prove that the devil is indeed in the details.” Entertainment Weekly
“Fans of cerebral action adventure novels know that…no one delivers the goods like the veteran writing team of Preston and Child…The two now deliver their best novel ever, an extravagant tale of international intrigue…A vastly imagined, relentlessly enjoyable thriller.” Publishers Weekly
“Narrator Scott Brick uses his somber baritone with terrifying subtlety. Brick positively shines as an assortment of villainous suspects on both sides of the Atlantic…Scott Brick’s performance infuses Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s thriller with chilling believability.” AudioFile
“An outrageously entertaining thriller from these accomplished coauthors…As good as the genre gets. Don’t miss it.” Kirkus Reviews
“Fans will be excited to see old friends, yet the story will still captivate newcomers. The authors have outdone themselves with marvelous set pieces and an intriguing mystery.” Library Journal
“Child and Preston are especially adept at creepy descriptions of eerily spooky castle ruins, crypts, and grave robberies. Readers who like ghost stories, hauntings, and other paranormal activities will find themselves eagerly engaged in this page-turner.” School Library Journal
