Search - Dance of Death

Two brothers. One a top FBI agent, the other a brilliant twisted criminal. An undying hatred between them. Now, a perfect crime and the ultimate challenge: Stop me if you can...

The perfect thriller.
A thrill ride..too scary, too much fun to put down once it hooks the reader..a complex taperstry of mystery woven by two writers working at the top of their ability.

Another one you can't put down...I like these characters.

Great story. Love all of their books.

Excellent. Typical Child/Preston book.

Outstanding story and great writer. Wow!

Just finished this book, it's excellant. I have to get the next one, right away. I love these guys

The always reliable team of Preston and Child revisit Special FBI Agent Aloysius Pendergast, last seen in 2004's Brimstone, and others from past bestsellers (Relic; The Cabinet of Curiosities) in this intriguing thriller set in and around New York City and the halls of the Museum of Natural History. Born a misanthropic loner but driven insane by seeing his parents burned alive when he was a teen, Aloysius's madman brother, Diogenes, has begun murdering Aloysius's friends. Aloysius begs old friend Lt. Vincent D'Agosta to help him defeat his brother, and Vincent does his best while the brothers spar and others die. There are a number of subplots, one involving an ATM robber and flasher known as the Dangler and another focusing on the museum's exhibition of sacred masks, but these fade away as the deadly duel between the brothers takes center stage. Think Sherlock Holmes locked in a death struggle with his smarter brother, Mycroft. Like Brimstone, this novel doesn't end so much as simply pause while the authors work on the next installment. While it's not as good as some of their earlier efforts, it's still pretty darn good.
