After an overhaul of leadership at the FBI's New York field office, A. X. L. Pendergast is abruptly forced to accept an unthinkable condition of continued employment: the famously rogue agent must now work with a partner. Pendergast and his new teammate, junior agent Coldmoon, are assigned to Miami Beach, where a rash of killings by a bloodthirsty psychopath are distinguished by a confounding M.O.: cutting out the hearts of his victims and leaving them - along with cryptic handwritten letters - at local gravestones, unconnected save in one bizarre way.

Great Pendergast short story, don't use a credit
Typically convoluted and fascinating Pendergast short story--great for Halloween or around a campfire. Pay the small price, but don't use a credit, as it is so short. But definitely worth getting!

A different take on the tooth fairy
This is a creepy but cute 45 minute short story from from Perdergast's childhood in New Orleans. I'm aware that narrator Rene Auberjonois gets rave reviews for the Pendergast novels he narrates, but I'm not a fan.

Thank you Preston and child
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
yes of course!!
What did you like best about this story?
It solves a mystery all Pendergas fans have wondered about.
Have you listened to any of Rene Auberjonois’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Wonderful story telling... I love his honeyed voice.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I didn't realize that this story actually tells the reader what we have always wanted to know.
I loved it.

A chilling short Aloysius - Great
This is a short teaser before the up coming release of the next Pendergast novel. As always, his stories are chilling. This story is from his childhood and told to Constance in the living room of their house in New York. It is suitably disturbing in the traditional manner. It is worth the hour. Pop open your wallet and pay cash. Thumbs up.

Extraction Indeed
This was a wonderfully scary story in a classic style, without guts and gore. Implied terror in the style of old Victorian horror, this is a beautifully written frightening tale of an alternative to the tooth fairy. I read this book using immersion reading while listening to the audio book and René Auberjonois of Star Trek Deep Space Nine fame, handled the narration beautifully. A scary treat.

too short
This was a set of 2 very short stories. The first better than the last. The only problem I have is that they were too short and I really didn't feel like I got my money's worth. Also I felt both stories left the reader hanging but perhaps that was the intention. I love the characters and this series.

I did not like this much
This was very violent and pointless, in my opinion. It did not help me understand Penderast and did not progress the story at all.
