Description

Behind the gates of a fabulous Hamptons estate, FBI Special Agent Pendergast comes upon the carnage of a gruesome crime: one that recalls the legendary horrors that befall those who make a Faustian pact with the devil. Surrounded by the choking stench of brimstone, the smoldering remains of art critic Jeremy Grove are found in a locked, barricaded attic next to a hoofprint singed into the floorboards.

Unable to resist a case that defies all but supernatural logic, Pendergast reunites with police officers Vincent D'Agosta (Relic) and Laura Hayward (Reliquary) to search for a more earthly explanation. But their investigation soon takes them from the luxury estates of Long Island and penthouses of New York City to the crumbling, legend-shrouded castles of the Italian countryside, where thirty years ago four men conjured up something unspeakable. . .

The villain in this has caused Umbridge-levels of rage in me. It is remarkably impressive. I was shouting at them during the audiobook. My dog was concerned.This feels like (and judging from the fact that it's listed as two separate series here on Goodreads, probably is) the start of an arc in the series. I'm going to have to see if the library has the next one, because I really need to know what happens next. This starts out feeling like the previous books with a monster-of-the-week vibe, but expands into something a bit bigger. I've been enjoying them so far, but this is starting to feel more like a long-running story and I love the point where a series turns into that. I'm getting remarkably fond of Pendergast, too. At first I was pleased he seemed able to see things clearly and get mysteries solved, but in the last few books I've been rather devoted to him and his mysteries and his uncanny knowledge of things.
