This is not the same Fever Dream that Christa reviewed. It is part of the series featuring FBI special agent Aloysius Pendergast. In this installment Pendergast investigates the death of his wife Helen. For twelve years he believed she had been mauled to death by a ferocious red maned lion in Zambia but discovers her death was actual murder. He sets out to find her killer with the assistance of NYPD Lt. Vincent D'Agosta. Their investigation leads them to Africa and then to Louisiana where they discover the late Mrs. Pendergast's obsession with the work of John James Audubon that is somehow connect with her jobs with "Doctors with Wings", a charity organization and a pharmaceutical company. Agent Pendergast soon realizes he knew very little about the woman he loved. When D'Agosta is seriously injured, his lover, NYPD Captain Laura Hayward joins the investigation. The standoff in a Louisiana swamp is riveting. I did not realize when I started listening to the audiobook that this is the first book in a trilogy. With the exception of the mispronunciation of New Madrid, Missouri by Rene Auberjonois, the narration is excellent.
