Another terrific entry in the Pendergast novels. Here Pendergast and D'Agosta take center stage tracking a killer, who leaves his victims with nothing above the shoulders. With the single thread narrative Preston and Child devote quite a bit of the story to an ex-Jesuit. While an interesting tangent to the main story, it isn't really necessary and ends somewhat flat. If they're making any sort of statement about our country's current state, it was best expressed by Pendergast himself when he says that it is the job of all people of good intention to "make sure we wealthy are not allowed to use our money as a tool of oppression and subversion of democracy." No matter your political bent, if you love a good thriller, you won't be disappointed to spend some time in the City of Endless Night.
