After his wife, Helen, is brazenly abducted before his eyes, Particular Agent Pendergast furiously pursues the kidnappers, chasing after them in the united states and into Mexico. But, things move terribly, tragically wrong; the kidnappers get away; and a shattered Pendergast retreats to his NY apartment and shuts away the world.

But when a string of bizarre murders erupts across several Manhattan hotels-perpetrated with a boy who appears to have an nearly psychic capability to elude capture-NYPD about Two Graves Lieutenant D’Agosta asks his friend Pendergast for help. Reluctant initially, Pendergast quickly discovers how the killings certainly are a message from his wife’s kidnappers. But why a note? 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 locate and demolish those responsible. His journey will take him deep in to the trackless forests of SOUTH USA, where he ultimately finds himself face to face with an old bad 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, initial drill down two graves.’ Pendergast is about to learn the hard method just how accurate those terms still ring.
