Verses for the Dead (Pendergast, #18)

by Douglas Preston

“On the contrary. Unlike knives, blunt conversations make for the quickest work.”

Howard Longstreet isn’t around to watch your back anymore, Agent Pendergast, or to bring you home after you’ve gone off the reservation. The Bureau can’t ignore your remarkable record of success. But neither can it ignore the high mortality rate you racked up achieving it. So we’re partnering you up, which of course is normal FBI protocol.
