When you read certain series out of order you may find yourself confused. That was the case with this book. I have read Fever Dream in which Helen, Agent Pendergast's wife is murdered. I haven't read Cold Vengeance where Helen apparently is found to be alive. This book begins with Helen alive but being kidnapped and then murdered. Pendergast is once again devastated and hides himself away but returns to work when a mysterious serial killer stalks New York. Pendergast realizes he has a personal connection to the killer. That investigation leads him to a plot involving modern day Nazis continuing the horrific work of Josef Mengele. A side plot involving Pendergast's "ward" Constance Greene explains some of the mystery surrounding her existence. I found this episode in the series to be one I had a hard time putting down (or turning off since it was the audiobook).
