Klappentext

Preston & Child continue their #1 bestselling series featuring FBI Special Agent Pendergast and Constance Greene, as they take a final stand against New York's deadliest serial killer: Pendergast's own ancestor ... and Constance's greatest enemy.

A desperate bargain is broken ...

Constance Greene confronts Manhattan's most dangerous serial killer, Enoch Leng, bartering for her sister's life---but she is betrayed and turned away empty-handed, incandescent with rage.

A vengeful angel will not be deterred ...

Meanwhile, as Pendergast focuses on saving the unstable Constance in her fanatical quest for vengeance, she strikes out on her own: to rescue her beloved siblings from a tragic fate and take savage retribution on Leng. But Leng is one step ahead and has a surprise for them all ...
