This is the fourteenth book in the Agent Pendergast series. Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast is up against a mysterious villain who is seeking to destroy him in revenge of an old family secret. Pendergast's son turns up dead on the doorstep of his mansion and the investigation in to the death leads the agent into a labyrinth of clues, dead ends, and an ultimately life threatening situation - poisoned by the patent medicine created by his ancestor. The investigation ends up connected to another death, this time in the New York Museum of Natural History, the place where the first Pendergast book, Relic, takes place. Researcher Margo Green from that first novel plays an important part in this story also. This is the first time I've read (or listened to) a book from this series but my husband was a big fan of Preston & Child. The audiobook is read by the actor, Rene Auberjonois who does an excellent job except for two small errors, one of which may have been the authors'.
