FBI Special Agent Pendergast lives! Following the New York Times bestselling Brimstone like a one-two punch, Dance of Death pits Pendergast against his most personal foe yet -- his brother Diogenes. Praised as a "ruthless descendant of Holmes" (Publishers Weekly), Agent Pendergast has become one of crime fiction's most endearing characters. His greatest enemy is one who has stalked him all of his life, his cunning and diabolical brother Diogenes. And Diogenes has thrown down the gauntlet. Now, several of the people closest to Pendergast are viciously murdered, and Pendergast is framed for the deeds. On the run from federal authorities, with only the help of his old friend NYPD Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta, Pendergast must stop his brother. But how can he stop a man that is his intellectual equal -- one who has had 20 years to plan the world's most horrendous crime? Can the authors of Brimstone and The Cabinet of Curiosities pull off another story that blends arcane with excellent storytelling? Dance of Death delivers the goods and then some, showcasing their strengths in plotting and suspense. -- The Globe and Mail "Preston and Child are masters of suspense....Dance of Death will keep you reading under the covers long past bedtime
