Publisher's summary

Art critic Jeremy Grove is found dead, his face frozen in a mask of terror. His body temperature is grotesquely high; he is discovered in a room barricaded from the inside; the smell of brimstone is everywhere... and the unmistakable imprint of a claw is burned into the wall. As more bodies are discovered - their only connection the bizarre but identical manner of death - the world begins to wonder if the Devil has, in fact, come to collect his due.

Teaming with Police Officer Vincent D'Agosta (The Relic), Agent Pendergast is determined to solve this case that appears to defy everything except supernatural logic.

Prolong the suspense: listen to another Pendergast novel.

Well crafted

I like the series in general, and found this book particularly engaging. Although the plot took several paths simultaneously, twists and turns in the plot were handled well.

this is my favorite book of the series so far

This is where all the fun begins. Has the Devil come to NYC? And who is the mysterious brother of A.X.L Pendergast?

Pendergast is the best!

Scott Brick is the most fantastic voice actor!!!

Even having to suspend belief at times, I still loved this the story and the two writers. Such interesting premise and very unique.

We’ll keep reading listening!!

Great book in the series. I really enjoyed the plot splitting into two stories. Narrator was great as usual, fixing to start next book and series.

I love murder mysteries?!? Who knew!

I happened upon this book quite by accident. I got sucked into Agent Pentergast and the murders that he solves and now I am listening to the whole series. I usually listen to historical romances. I like that each book seems to give you some background about something I had no clue about. For example, in one book the authors discuss the community living underground in New York. I also like how characters from one book show up in another book. It usually takes me a while to get into a book but not these! You will not be disappointed! Start with book 1! Relic.

The ode to Wilkie

these are beautiful mysteries with twists and turns and respect for the genre are the standouts for this installment of the Pendergast series.
