Synopsis: Praised as a "ruthless descendant of Holmes", agent Pendergast has become one of crime fiction's most endearing characters. His greatest enemy is one who has stalked him all of his life, his cunning and diabolical brother Diogenes. And Diogenes has thrown down the gauntlet. Now, several of the people closest to Pendergast are viciously murdered, and Pendergast is framed for the deeds. On the run from federal authorities, with only the help of his old friend NYPD Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta, Pendergast must stop his brother. But how can he stop a man that is his intellectual equal, one who has had 20 years to plan the world's most horrendous crime?

1. Pendergast....what can I say. "Still Life With Crows" is one of the best.

He leaves me speechless, almost breathless. In this genre besides the Pendergast books, "The Empty Chair" is a great favorite.

3. This isn't a review.

At least not an original one. Nice copy and paste job, though.

4. Did you actually listen to this?

If you did, what were your thoughts? The synopsis really won't cut it here in the lounge. You'll have to work to get our attention. So what did you really think after listening to the audio book? We want a REAL review, not self-promotion.

on edit: clarification
