Reviews" Bloodless is rife with inventive scenarios, amusing exchanges (especially between oft-impatient Coldmoon and eternally placid Pendergast) and tantalizingly spooky mysteries, topped off with a gloriously wild finale that is as action-packed as it is memorable."-- BookPage (Starred Review), PRAISE FOR THE CABINET OF DR. LENG : "This book is a lot of fun. The writing is crisp and lightly ornate, as usual, and the story is inventive and suspenseful."-- Booklist, PRAISE FOR BLOODLESS: "Leave it to the imaginations of Preston and Child . . . Spooky and surreal [and] wonderful fun." -- Kirkus, PRAISE FOR CROOKED RIVER : "Preston and Child know how to craft compelling stories that are both baffling and surprising. The cast of characters feels authentic and moves the story forward in unexpected ways. . . the authors are masters of the procedural with a gothic flair."-- Associated Press, PRAISE FOR ANGEL OF VENGEANCE : "You will rarely see two characters as complex and compelling as these two, and you will rarely see a series as consistently well written as this one."-- Booklist (Starred Review)

SynopsisPreston & Child continue their #1 bestselling series featuring FBI Special Agent Pendergast and Constance Greene, as they take a final stand against New York's deadliest serial killer: Pendergast's own ancestor...and Constance's greatest enemy. A desperate bargain is broken... Constance Greene confronts Manhattan's most dangerous serial killer, Enoch Leng, bartering for her sister's life - but she is betrayed and turned away empty-handed, incandescent with rage. A clever trap is set... Unknown to Leng, Pendergast's brother, Diogenes, appears unexpectedly, offering to help--for mysterious reasons of his own. Disguised as a cleric, Diogenes establishes himself in New York's notorious Five Points slum, manipulating events like a chess master, watching Leng's every move...and awaiting his own chance to strike. A vengeful angel will not be deterred... Meanwhile, as Pendergast focuses on saving the unstable Constance in her fanatical quest for vengeance, she strikes out on her own: to rescue her beloved siblings from a tragic fate and take savage retribution on Leng. But Leng is one step ahead and has a surprise for them all...
