Sinossi
Quando un giornalista del "New York Times", William Smithback, viene brutalmente assassinato, il tenente della polizia Vincent D'Agosta chiede l'aiuto dell'agente dell'Fbi Aloysius Pendergast. Entrambi erano amici della vittima e sono decisi a fare di tutto per scoprire l'assassino, ma restano sbigottiti nell'apprendere che, stando alle prove, l'omicida è un vicino di casa morto da dieci giorni. E quando la moglie di Smithback viene aggredita da una specie di zombie con le fattezze del marito, sul caso si allunga l'ombra inquietante del sovrannaturale e della magia nera. Gli indizi portano alla villa dove ha sede una setta dedita a pratiche voodoo, sulla quale Smithback stava indagando. E sarà proprio nei sotterranei della villa che D'Agosta e Pendergast dovranno cercare la soluzione del mistero, e lottare per difendersi dal più temibile dei nemici.

Action packed mystery and suspense! Another great Pendergast novel. This one will have you guessing and second guessing the whole time. While this is a standalone story, it does have its place in the series (after the Diogenes trilogy) and enough references to the previous actions of the characters ( Leggi tutto
Zombies. VooDoo. Animal sacrifices. A violent cult. Cemetery Dance, book #9 in the Agent Pendergast series, has a little bit of everything. And once again it is a brilliantly creepy tale. Two of Agent Pendergast's cohorts -- William Smithback and Nora Kelly -- are celebrating their anniversary when
More horror than suspense thriller! William Smithback, investigative reporter from the New York Times, and Nora Kelly, an anthropologist from the New York Museum of Natural History are celebrating their first anniversary in their Manhattan apartment when Smithback is attacked, brutally stabbed and mu Leggi tutto
Fantastic! Really enjoyed this one. It seemed to me a return to the form of the pre-Diogenes books. Great story, action almost from the very first page, a fascinating look at a different part of New York. It was pretty creepy too. Such a great series.
