#1 NY TIMES BESTSELLER ‘A consistently exciting rather than predictable series.’–Associated Press

When Elegance Ozmian, the beautiful and reckless child of a rich tech billionaire, 1st goes lacking, the NYPD assumes she’s basically sped off on another outrageous adventure. Until the young woman’s is discovered in an abandoned warehouse in Queens, the top nowhere to be found.

Lieutenant CDS Vincent D’Agosta quickly takes the business lead. He understands his analysis will attract brutal about Town of Endless Night time scrutiny, so D’Agosta is happy when FBI Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast shows up at the criminal offense scene assigned to the case. ‘I experience rather like Brer Rabbit becoming thrown into the briar patch,’ Pendergast tells D’Agosta, ‘because I have found you right here, in charge. Exactly like when we first met, back in the Museum of Natural History.’

But neither Pendergast nor D’Agosta are prepared for what lies forward. A diabolical existence is haunting the greater metropolitan region, and Elegance Ozmian was only the to begin many victims to become murdered . and decapitated. Worse still, there’s something unique to the city itself that has fascinated the evil eye of the killer.

As mass hysteria models in, Pendergast and D’Agosta find themselves in the crosshairs of the opponent that has threatened the very lifeblood of the city. It’ll take all of Pendergast’s skill to unmask this most dangerous foe-let alone endure to inform the tale.
