Cold Vengeance (Large type / large print Edition) by Douglas Preston
4.0
This is the 11th in a series of novels centered around Pendergast, an FBI agent who is part James Bond, part Fox Mulder, and part Macgyver. It's a direct sequel to FEVER DREAM, and, since it ends on multiple cliffhangers, is apparently the second book in a trilogy.
The Pendergast books are great fun. They are a unique combination of the gothic, the technological, and the action thrillers. This entry is no different. Long-suffering Agent Pendergast continues to plumb the mysteries surrounding his wife's mysterious death, and several key characters from earlier novels show up to move along the subplots.
If high-action thrills are what you're looking for, this is a great read. I wouldn't recommend it as your first book in the series, however, because there are so many links to previous novels.
Well worth your time, and, in my opinion, one of the better in the series.
