Great book, lots of suspense, and some loose ends are tied up towards the end. ( ) Después de presenciar el rapto de su mujer en Central Park, el agente especial del FBI Aloysius Pendergast persigue desesperadamente a los secuestradores por el país hasta llegar a México. Sin embargo, todo sale trágicamente mal: los malhechores logran escapar, y Pendergast, destrozado, regresa a su apartamento en Nueva York para aislarse del mundo. Mientras tanto, en los hoteles de Manhattan se está cometiendo una serie de extraños asesinatos. En cada caso, las cámaras de seguridad captan imágenes claras de un joven pelirrojo, atlético, elegante y bien parecido que se mueve sin prisas por los pasillos de los distintos hoteles. Deja sus huellas, pelos y fibras en el escenario del crimen, pero siempre elude a la policía. Cuando el teniente Vincent d'Agosta acude a Pendergast, el agente no demuestra ningún interés por los hechos hasta que se fija en el modus operandi del asesino: escribe un mensaje en cada cadáver, y estos mensajes se dirigen solamente a él. Two Graves by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child is one of the best suspense books that I have ever listened to. There are several suspenseful stories within the book concluding the stories from the previous book, Cold Vengeance. Special Agent Pendergast finds himself in an impossible situation that require his special in order to solve a Nazi mystery. Parts of the book are believable, the characters are wonderful both good and bad, the settings are mostly believable but the book is an excellent way to escape troubles of everyday life. Five stars were awarded to this book. Enjoy. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
