Are you ready to enter the darkness? Discover the origins of Agent Pendergast...

FBI Special Agent Dwight Chambers has lost everything. His partner, his wife, and his footing at the Bureau. Now, he’s been assigned to mentor a new recruit who just might be the final nail in his coffin.

A.X.L. Pendergast is an enigmatic young agent with a complicated past. His recklessness soon drags Chambers into chaos and gets them both suspended.

For Pendergast, this is a chance to investigate a peculiar murder in Mississippi. With Chambers grudgingly in tow, the two agents discover a string of grisly, ritualistic killings that defy any known pattern.

Thanks to Pendergast’s unorthodox brilliance, they manage to find the killer.

Then the true horror begins.

Whether you’re a long-time fan or yet to discover the series, this chilling, gothic thriller about Pendergast’s strange and shocking first case is perfect for fans of True Detective, Michael Crichton, John Connolly, and A.G. Riddle.©2023 Lincoln Child Crime Thrillers Historical Science Fiction Supernatural Thriller & Suspense Time Travel Scary Detective

Story was ok, but when you have read all the books, its pretty dull, knowing that pendergast will never be hurt bad, cause the series out dates this novel. id rather have new Nora Kelly, stories.

events actually lose grip, when you know nothing bad happens to pendergast.

Brilliant book, what an amazing backstory for my favourite character ever. I wish I hadn't read any of these books so I could have the joy of reading them for the first time!
ps the end of chapter 37 seemed to cut off prematurely.

For fans of Pendergast!
