Publisher's summary

Blue Labyrinth: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *

Special Agent Pendergast-one of the most original, compelling characters in all of contemporary fiction-returns in Preston and Child's new exhilarating novel BLUE LABYRINTH.

A long-buried family secret has come back to haunt Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast.

It begins with murder. One of Pendergast's most implacable, most feared enemies is found on his doorstep, dead. Pendergast has no idea who is responsible for the killing, or why the body was brought to his home. The mystery has all the hallmarks of the perfect crime, save for an enigmatic clue: a piece of turquoise lodged in the stomach of the deceased.

The gem leads Pendergast to an abandoned mine on the shore of California's Salton Sea, which in turn propels him on a journey of discovery deep into his own family's sinister past. But Pendergast learns there is more at work than a ghastly episode of family history: he is being stalked by a subtle killer bent on vengeance over an ancient transgression. And he soon becomes caught in a wickedly clever plot, which leaves him stricken in mind and body, and propels him toward a reckoning beyond anything he could ever have imagined....

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Critic reviews

"What Preston and Child are so good at are exemplified here: solid research, clear swift prose and enough twists to fill a jar of pretzels. Sit back, crack open the book and get ready for the ride of your life."—David Baldacci

"Preston and Child have created a terrific mix of mystery and the unexpected that will keep you reading into the late hours of the night. They promise a great read and they have delivered."—Clive Cussler

Absolutely one of my favorite Pendergast novels!

Awesome storyline music and sound effects were extraordinary. Made the book. Totally come alive. I would highly recommend.

Great

Great, except for the background music. Just not necessary! I’m ready for more Pendergast anytime.

Twisty turny

This is a fun story. The plot is complicated to bring together but once it does it’s very rewarding

Best Pendergast yet

Best Pendergast yet. Unfortunately, the one flaw I found was the background music/noise. I found it distracting and removed some of my listening pleasure to the narrators voice.

background distraction

I love the series and can't stop listening, but in this episode, the background music is very distracting!! can there be a way to remove it? I can't focus on nearrietor awesome performance, and it really bothers me. I wish there could be another version of episode mode so I can choose and actually enjoy it more!

Renee aubergeron narratiom

the plot twists and turns were special and the familiar characters were all a good plus. One learns a lot about the central character in very dramatic ways.

Outstanding

One of the very best Pendergast books! Good plot, lots of action, characters come out that have been traditionally sidelined.

Another fun one in the series

I just love these books as they entertain me. There is nothing more that I want than that.

Excellent

Excellent reader and story, but the background music was often distracting. Overall, it was quite enjoyable.

Miss old narrator. RIP

I generally enjoy this series even when some
Of the events are somewhat incredible. However, I found the music and sound effects in narration distracting.
