THE
INSTANT
#1NEW
YORK
TIMESBESTSELLER
Preston
&
Child
return
with
their
bestselling
series,
confronting
FBI
Special
Agent
Pendergast
with
the
one
challenge
he
never
expected:
a
partner.
After
an
overhaul
of
leadership
at
the
FBI's
New
York
field
office,
A.
X.
L.
Pendergast
is
abruptly
forced
to
accept
an
unthinkable
condition
of
continued
employment:
the
famously
rogue
agent
must
now
work
with
a
partner.
Pendergast
and
his
new
colleague,
junior
agent
Coldmoon,
are
assigned
to
investigate
a
rash
of
killings
in
Miami
Beach,
where
a
bloodthirsty
psychopath
is
cutting
out
the
hearts
of
his
victims
and
leaving
them
with
cryptic
handwritten
letters
at
local
gravestones.
The
graves
are
unconnected
save
in
one
bizarre
way:
all
belong
to
women
who
committed
suicide.
But
the
seeming
lack
of
connection
between
the
old
suicides
and
the
new
murders
is
soon
the
least
of
Pendergast's
worries.
Because
as
he
digs
deeper,
he
realizes
the
brutal
new
crimes
may
be
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg:
a
conspiracy
of
death
that
reaches
back
decades.

Recenzii
"Multifaceted
and
complex.
Legendary.
Working
together,
Preston
and
Child
are
masters
at
crafting
a
story
that
goes
beyond
a
simple
mystery
or
thriller
...
Readers
unfamiliar
with
Pendergast
will
find
this
novel
a
fantastic
launch
point.
He's
a
modern-day
Sherlock
Holmes,
and
the
story
reads
like
classic
literature."—Associated
Press
"Doug Preston and Lincoln Child's master detective A.X.L. Pendergast is every bit the modern equivalent of Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot. And his investigative skills have never been sharper than in the altogether brilliant VERSES FOR THE DEAD.... A throwback to classic crime fiction while maintaining a sharp, postmodern edge."—Providence Journal
"The 18th installment in the Pendergast series by Preston and Child gives the hero a partner in the hunt for a strange killer... Pendergast is highly successful in closing cases on his own but 'was about as rogue as they came,' and suspects tend not to survive his investigations. Agent Coldmoon's secret assignment is to keep a close eye on his partner, 'a bomb waiting to go off' ... [VERSES FOR THE DEAD has] a nerve-wracking finish. Readers will love the quirky characters in this clever yarn. Pendergast and Coldmoon make an excellent pair. "—Kirkus (starred review)
