Part of Pendergast, book 16
First published 2016
Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast has vanished after a supernatural encounter on the Massachusetts coast. His colleagues believe him dead. Constance, his ward, grieves alone in the underground chambers of the Riverside Drive mansion. A figure from her past captures her and drags her away from the only home she knows. Proctor, Pendergast's loyal bodyguard, pursues the kidnapper across continents and into remote wilderness. The chase leads him through major cities and desolate territories as he races to save Constance. But the truth behind her abduction runs deeper than Proctor realizes. Dark forces have awakened, and their plans threaten more than one life. Time runs short as Proctor uncovers a conspiracy that began long before Pendergast disappeared.
