Preston, Douglas The Book of the Dead
Vision 1-Jul-07 446618500 Mass Market Paperback
Bestsellers Preston and Child have come up with another gripping, action-packed page-turner in this concluding volume to a trilogy pitting their Holmesian hero, FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast, against his Mycroft-turned-Moriarty--his younger brother, Diogenes. Picking up shortly after the events of 2005's Dance of Death, the book opens with the arrival of a package of fine dust at the Museum of Natural History; Diogenes has returned the diamonds he stole earlier. Meanwhile, Aloysius is in prison, having been framed for a number of murders. As his friends plot to spring him, his adversary lays the groundwork for a crowning criminal achievement. A mysterious benefactor funds the restoration of an ancient Egyptian tomb at the museum, but the work is beset by the mayhem Preston and Child's readers have come to expect--gory murders and suggestions of the supernatural. This entry, tying up many loose ends from its predecessors, is less likely to work as well for first-time readers, but followers of Aloysius Pendergast's previous exploits will find it a satisfying read with a tantalizing, ominous twist at the end. 10-city author tour. (June) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition. The third in a trilogy, this title picks up in the middle of the story. Set, in part, in the American Museum of Natural History, where the tomb of Senef is reopened after 70 years, the story involves a villain named Diogenes, who plots murder and mayhem to destroy New York City society while Aloysius, his FBI agent brother, seeks to thwart him. Rene Auberjonois's melodramatic narration fits the convoluted plots perfectly. Both the abridgment and the lack of prologue bringing new listeners up to speed make the plot difficult to follow. However, the dramatic music adds tension to Auberjonois's enthusiastic reading.
