The beginnings of the famous inspector Pendergast.

It is with great pleasure that I read this book for some years found Preston and Child.
The story: A scientific team was decimated in full South American jungle, it nevertheless successful sending several cases in New York Natural History Museum.
Some years later, the Museum organizes an exhibition "Superstition" which should be high on a statuette from this expedition.
A few days before the inauguration several murders are committed (including two young children).
Is it an animal? (Cat, bear ...) a man? Still, a physio-anthropologist, Frock, Councillor Margo Green (that particular one retouve in "Dance of Death" and "the book of the dead") to a theory that displeases his colleagues.
I will not reveal the story also was the subject of a small Z series of horror film (very average). I can only tell you that we find Agosta and Pendergast. This true to himself is not quite the great bloodhound "room of curiosities", "The violin of the devil" or "The book of the dead". The big Pendergast course changed a bit in 15 years but its phlegm and its main character traits are still there.

With this book and despite a few laps, I felt an immense pleasure to find these characters (it was first written Pendergast survey in 1995).
Preston & Child thank you for all the good moments of reading. Thank you to the publishing house "L'Archipel" to repeat all that. When is "the breadbasket of hell"? and especially their new book "The wheel of darkness" of which the action takes place in Tibet with Aloysius and Constance.
