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. Their investigation takes them from the luxury estates of Long Island to the crumbling, legend-shrouded castles of the Italian countryside, where Pendergast faces the most treacherous and dangerous adversary of his career. 1369951 2004 Brimstone (Pendergast, #5/Diogenes, #1) total:2475|5:702|4:1052|3:596|2:99|1:26| 2475 9730 3115 179 2 1 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 11 16:15:38 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 11 16:48:02 -0700 2008
Child and Preston must have a fan at the local independent bookstore because several of these McNuggets of entertainment are on their recommended shelf. After reading a few of them, I'm not sure why.

This is my first Pendergast book. I will probably finish this series. Pendergast seems to be the James Bond of FBI agents, except without the women.
