Synopsis

Following the events of Bloodless, the "exciting" and "nail-biting" new thriller in Preston & Child's #1 bestselling series will once again feature FBI Special Agent A. X. L. Pendergast and Constance Greene.

Against all odds, Constance has found a way back to the place of her origins, New York City in the late 1800s, and sets off on a quest to prevent the events that lead to the deaths of her sister and brother, and stop Manhattan’s most infamous serial killer, Dr. Enoch Leng of the seminal Pendergast novel The Cabinet of Curiosities, before his nefarious experiments come to fruition.

Meanwhile, in present-day New York, Pendergast is desperate to find a way to reunite with Constance—but will he find a way before it’s too late?

Goodreads review by Peter on May 08, 2023

Constance Green is traveling back in time to save her siblings in the New York of 1880. Dr Leng and his evil proceedings are describ......more

An unexpected journey into the past while trying to save a couple of lives could possibly have dire consequences for so many who exist in the present time frame since any changes that mysterious Constance makes could alter the future that Pendergast has carefully maintained for Constance who is quit......more

Goodreads review by Ellery on January 15, 2023

I am so pleased that this Agent Pendergast novel was more in keeping with Cabinet of Curiosities and Relic and less like the previous two in the series, which fell a bit flat for me. There's a ton going on in this one, but it never gets confusing. Love the time travel element and the authors did a g......more

Goodreads review by Matthew on January 25, 2024

Dark, creepy, mysterious - everything you expect from Preston & Child. I really think you need to have read most, if not all, of the previous Pendergast series entries to truly appreciate this book. I will, as always, be back for the next book!......more

Goodreads review by James on January 02, 2023

READ THIS BOOK. There. That's a simple enough review, brief and to the point and if you're a Pendergast fan, it's enough. Hell, if you really ARE a Pendergast fan, chances are, like me, you've kept your eyes and ears open since you put down 'Bloodless' and as soon as prerelease copies of 'The Cabinet......more

Quotes

PRAISE FOR BLOODLESS

"Leave it to the imaginations of Preston and Child... Spooky and surreal [and] wonderful fun."—Kirkus

"BLOODLESS is their 20th novel featuring one of the most unique protagonists in all of thriller fiction, Agent Aloysius Pendergast, and may rank as one of the finest books they have ever penned together.... BLOODLESS is a pure pleasure to read and is like candy to thriller fans --- candy from which readers will drain every ounce of flavor in pure delight."—BookReporter

“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 CROOKED RIVER "Exciting. Nail-biting. Quality storytelling."—Publishers Weekly

"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
