FBI Special Agent Pendergast and Constance Greene take a final stand against the deadliest serial killer in the history of New York: Pendergast's own ancestor, Dr. Enoch Leng. The latest thrilling timeslip adventure in the New York Times-bestselling series from Preston and Child.

A desperate bargain is broken...

A clever trap is set...

A vengeful angel will not be deterred...

Having travelled back in time to Victorian-era New York City to save her siblings, Constance Greene confronts Manhattan¡¯s most dangerous serial killer, Dr. Leng, but she is betrayed and left incandescent with rage.

Agent Pendergast is determined to assist Constance, who is now on a fanatical quest for vengeance. And Diogenes, Pendergast's brother, also takes a trip out of his own time, offering to help the duo for unexplained reasons of his own.

Diogenes establishes himself in New York's notorious Five Points slum, watching Dr. Leng¡¯s every move and awaiting a chance to strike. But Constance strikes out on her own, intent on savage retribution.

Yet Dr. Leng is one step ahead of everyone, and still has a macabre surprise in store...
