  • "Agent Pendergast's 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 the 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 the man that is his intellectual equal - one who has had 20 years to plan the world's most horrendous crime?"
  • "The always reliable team of Preston and Child revisit Special FBI Agent Aloysius Pendergast, last seen in 2004's Brimstone, and others from past bestsellers (Relic; The Cabinet of Curiosities) in this intriguing thriller set in and around New York City and the halls of the Museum of Natural History. Born a misanthropic loner but driven insane by seeing his parents burned alive when he was a teen, Aloysius's madman brother, Diogenes, has begun murdering Aloysius's friends. Aloysius begs old friend Lt. Vincent D'Agosta to help him defeat his brother, and Vincent does his best while the brothers spar and others die. There are a number of subplots, one involving an ATM robber and flasher known as the Dangler and another focusing on the museum's exhibition of sacred masks, but these fade away as the deadly duel between the brothers takes center stage. Think Sherlock Holmes locked in a death struggle with his smarter brother, Mycroft. Like Brimstone, this novel doesn't end so much as simply pause while the authors work on the next installment. While it's not as good as some of their earlier efforts, it's still pretty darn good."@en

  • "Vor den Augen seiner entsetzten Studenten stirbt ein Literaturprofessor einen grausamen Tod. In seinem Blut findet man ein seltenes Spinnengift. Nur ein Mann könnte so ein Verbrechen aufklären: Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast. Aber der ist bei einem Einsatz in Italien ums Leben gekommen. Oder ...? Ein gnadenloser Killer tötet ein Opfer nach dem anderen. Ihre Gemeinsamkeit: Sie waren Freunde von Aloysius Pendergast. Doch wer könnte ein Interesse daran haben, sie auszuschalten? Vincent D'Agosta beginnt zu ermitteln und stößt auf ein dunkles Geheimnis: Aloysius hat einen Bruder, Diogenes. Dieser plant seit langer Zeit im Verborgenen das perfekte Verbrechen. Er will Luzifers Herz stehlen, den größten Diamanten der Welt. Kann D'Agosta das verhindern? Bei seinen Ermittlungen erhält er unerwartete Hilfe - von Pendergast! Der hat seinen Tod nur vorgetäuscht, um den Bruder in Sicherheit zu wiegen. Gemeinsam müssen sich die beiden Männer auf einen Wettlauf mit der Zeit einlassen, denn Diogenes geht buchstäblich über Leichen, um seine Pläne zu verwirklichen. Aber tut er das wirklich? Ein Profiler entwickelt eine kühne Theorie: Existiert Diogenes wirklich - oder ist er nichts anderes als ein Ausgeburt der seelischen Abgründe von Aloysius Pendergast?"

  • "Pendergast's diabolical brother Diogenes is hell-bent on destroying him. The murder of several people close to the FBI agent make it painfully clear to him that this is no slight case of sibling rivalry. Unfortunately, the feds are convinced that Pendergast himself was involved with the killings; to neutralize Diogenes, he must go underground, aided only by his old buddy NYPD Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta."

  • "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. 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?"
