A TRAGIC DISAPPEARANCE. After a harrowing, otherworldly confrontation on the shores of Exmouth, Massachussetts, Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast is missing, presumed dead.
A SHOCKING RETURN. Sick with grief, Pendergast's ward, Constance, retreats to her chambers beneath the family mansion at 891 Riverside Drive -- only to be taken captive by a shadowy figure from the past.
AN INTERNATIONAL MANHUNT.
Proctor, Pendergast's longtime bodyguard, springs to action, pursuing Constance's kidnapper through cities, across oceans, and into wastelands unknown.
BUT IN THIS WORLD, NOTHING IS AS IT SEEMS And by the time Proctor discovers the truth, a terrifying mechanism has stirred -- and it may already be too late...
My Review
First things first, I read this series completely out of order, oops my bad. Besides the confusion it brought on me at the start due to this I found this to be a great read. The characters are written perfectly. I love how the authors have written the character Diogenes who has multiple aliases and I think they have done well in making them sound realistic. It starts with Pendergast missing and no one knows if he is alive or dead. For Constance, his ward it seems to be so traumatic that she retreats herself to the chambers below the Pendergast mansion. Unfortunately, a once thought dead old enemy has returned, someone that she has a not so brilliant past with. Constance will soon learn that not everything is as it seems and has to make a few hard decisions come the end of the book. This is a book I would like to reread after I have read the previous books in the series. It certainly caught me off guard with the ending, I look forward to seeing how things play out if there is another book after this.
