Brimstone by Douglas Preston
Behind the gates of a fabulous Hamptons estate, FBI Special Agent Pendergast comes upon the carnage of a gruesome- and seemingly supernatural -crime. The smoldering remains of infamous art critic Jeremy Grove, a melted cross branding his chest, are found in a locked, barricaded attic. The hoofprint singed into the floorboards and the smell of brimstone recall the legendary horrors that befall those who make a pact with the Devil. Reuniting with Police Officers Vincent D'Agosta and Laura Hayward (from Relic and Reliquary), Pendergast combs New York, hoping for a simple explanation: a villain who is merely human. But his search takes him beyond the exclusive clubs and luxury penthouses of Manhattan to the crumbling, legend-shrouded castles of the Italian countryside, where-30 years before-four men may have conjured something unspeakable.

'As good as the genre gets. Don't miss it.' KIRKUS REVIEWS (Starred REVIEW) 'Brimstone is scarier than The Da Vinci Code, more of a thrill ride. It's just too scary, or too much fun, to put down once it hooks the reader.' SAN Jose Mercury News
