From #1 New York Times bestselling authors Preston & Child, Agent Pendergast is faced with the most inexplicable challenge of his career when severed feet are found floating in the Gulf of Mexico. A startling crime with dozens of victims. To the horror of the quiet resort town of Sanibel Island, Florida, dozens of shoes wash up on the tropical beach—each one with a crudely severed human foot inside. A ghastly enigma with no apparent solution. Called away from vacation, Agent Pendergast reluctantly agrees to visit the crime scene and is quickly drawn in by the incomprehensible puzzle. An early pathology report only adds to the mystery. He desperately needs to know: are the victims still alive? A worthy challenge for a brilliant mind. Through shocking twists and turns, all trails lead back to a powerful adversary with a sadistic agenda and who—in a cruel irony—ultimately sees in Pendergast the ideal subject for their malevolent research.

Reviewed by Raphaela Ein Buch bei dem ich immer wieder ins Stocken kam und mit dem ich nicht wirklich warm werden wollte. Ich hab mich lange gefragt, wieso es mir immer wieder so schwer fiel, zum Buch zu greifen. Ich bin bekennender Pendergast Fan, ich mag Coldmoon, der aktuelle Fall war wieder herrlich bizarr - im Vergleich dazu waren die letzten Episoden sehr zahm - wieso also wollte ich nicht so richtig? Die Antwort war schnell gefunden: ich kann Constance einfach nicht mehr ertragen. Sie war ursprünglich eine interessante Idee, aber sie wird mit jedem Buch mehr Mary Sue und das stößt ab. Könnte man sie nicht wieder im Kloster oder Keller verschwinden lassen? Würde den Büchern sehr gut tun.
