In the opening pages of CEMETERY DANCE, Bill Smithback and
his wife, Nora Kelly, are attacked in their NYC apartment.
It's the beginning of one of the most adventurous
Pendergast novels -- readers will be alternately shocked and
horrified, enthralled and repelled, by a storyline unlike
any of the other books.
D'Agosta makes it his personal crusade to find out who
attacked his friends, and that means delving into a series
of apparent zombie attacks to find the truth. Joining
forces with Pendergast, whose New Orleans background gives
him a strong history in voodoo, the two men fight to
uncover what a sinister cult may have to do with the
attacks.
But when Nora is kidnapped, D'Agosta knows time is running
out. He breaks rules and puts his life on the line to
rescue her.
Wow! It is impossible to speak about this book without
giving away a crucial piece of the plot. I can say that
Preston and Child never write better than when they're
working together on the Pendergast series. This book was
chilling, fascinating and I didn't figure the ending! This
is a must-read series for thriller/suspense fans. One of my
favorites!
William Smithback, a New York Times reporter, and his wife
Nora Kelly, a Museum of Natural History archaeologist, are
brutally attacked in their apartment on Manhattan's Upper
West Side. Eyewitnesses claim, and the security camera
confirms, that the assailant was their strange, sinister
neighbor-a man who, by all reports, was already dead and
buried weeks earlier.
While Captain Laura Hayward leads the official
investigation, Pendergast and Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta
undertake their own private-and decidedly unorthodox-quest
for the truth. Their serpentine journey takes them to an
enclave of Manhattan they never imagined could exist: a
secretive, reclusive cult of Obeah and vodou which no
outsiders have ever survived.
