After his wife, Helen, is brazenly abducted before his eyes, Special Agent Pendergast furiously pursues the kidnappers, chasing them across the country and into Mexico. But then, things go terribly, tragically wrong; the kidnappers escape; and a shattered Pendergast retreats to his New York apartment and shuts out the world.
But when a string of bizarre murders erupts across several Manhattan hotels - perpetrated by a boy who seems to have an almost psychic ability to elude capture - NYPD Lieutenant D'Agosta asks his friend Pendergast for help. Reluctant at first, Pendergast soon discovers that the killings are a message from his wife's kidnappers. But why a message? And what does it mean?
When the kidnappers strike again at those closest to Pendergast, the FBI agent, filled anew with vengeful fury, sets out to track down and destroy those responsible. His journey takes him deep into the trackless forests of South America, where he ultimately finds himself face to face with an old evil that - rather than having been eradicated - is stirring anew... and with potentially world-altering consequences.
Confucius once said: "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, first dig two graves." Pendergast is about to learn the hard way just how true those words still ring.

Epub Two Graves
I am a long-time, devoted and enthusiastic fan of the novels (jointly and solo-written) of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child...especially those devoted to the adventures of FBI Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast.
Not that each one was a masterpiece...but, each featured some hair-raising danger and the brilliant, laconic, enigmatic...yet never superhero-ish...Pendergast. This theme was consistent troughout the 1st two books of their latest Pendergast trilogy (Fever Dream and Cold Vengeance); which opened a new window into Pendergast's history; placed him in unprecedented personal danger and laid out a plot of international intrigues worthy of Bond vs SPECTRE.
Therefore, it was with great anticipation that I started to read the final book: "Two Graves"; and, with greater disappointment that I came to its conclusion. If the two authors had not been so prominent in promoting the book via commercials, Facebook, etc, I would have had to believe that it was a cheap imitation of one of their novels...by a very inferior writer(s).
Sadly, it reflects the kind of 'writing' that Preston/Child presented with their 'Gideon' series...a lower level of cheap thrills, ridiculous escapes and leaps of faith that more properly belong in the books of the 'Matt Helm' or 'Destroyer' canon.
In Two Graves, the conspiracy turns out to be the work of (gasp!) super-science neo-Nazis, working from a hidden base in the Amazon Jungle (beyond cliche); and, Pendergast is transformed into an indestructible Superhero: combining aspects of Doc Savage, Indiana Jones, Batman...with a little 'Spy Smasher' thrown in for good measure.
