Blue Labyrinth
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...
