In this gripping thriller, FBI Special Agent Pendergast teams up with Constance Greene to take on New York’s deadliest serial killer: Pendergast’s own ancestor, Dr. Enoch Leng. This book belongs to the much-lauded timeslip series by Preston and Child.
Constance travels back in time to Victorian New York to save her brothers and sisters, but she is betrayed and driven by a burning desire for revenge. Agent Pendergast stands by her in her ruthless pursuit.
What’s more, unexpected help comes from Diogenes, Pendergast’s brother, who settles in the infamous Five Points slum district to keep a close watch on Dr. Leng and strike when possible.
But Dr. Leng stays one step ahead and has one more macabre surprise in store. A story full of suspense, revenge, and time travel at the heart of New York, with Agent Pendergast and Constance Greene in decisive roles.
