ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
In this #1 New York Times bestseller, Special Agent Pendergast must
stop a serial killer who is terrorizing New York City with a trail of
headless victims.
When Grace Ozmian, the beautiful and reckless daughter of a wealthy tech
billionaire, first goes missing, the NYPD assumes she has simply sped
off on another wild adventure. Until the young woman's body is
discovered in an abandoned warehouse in Queens, the head nowhere to be
found.
Lieutenant CDS Vincent D'Agosta quickly takes the lead. He knows his
investigation will attract fierce scrutiny, so D'Agosta is delighted
when FBI Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast shows up at the crime scene
assigned to the case. I feel rather like Brer Rabbit being thrown into
the briar patch, Pendergast tells D'Agosta, because I have found you
here, in charge. Just like when we first met, back at the Museum of
Natural History.
But neither Pendergast nor D'Agosta are prepared for what lies ahead. A
diabolical presence is haunting the greater metropolitan area, and Grace
Ozmian was only the first of many victims to be murdered . . . and
decapitated. Worse still, there's something unique to the city itself
that has attracted the evil eye of the killer.
As mass hysteria sets in, Pendergast and D'Agosta find themselves in the
crosshairs of an opponent who has threatened the very lifeblood of the
city. It'll take all of Pendergast's skill to unmask this most dangerous
foe-let alone survive to tell the tale.
