   This is another great book in the Pendergast series. Like the others, it has an intricate plot and remarkable characters. There is a time machine that takes Constance back to 1880 New York City to rescue her brother from an untimely death and her sister from the evil Dr. Leng. Descriptions of the time period are vivid. Coldmoon has a current day murder to solve. As he investigates, we learn about Lakota history and culture. Of course, Pendergast is there to solve problems as only he can.

As other reviewers and the authors point out, the Pendergast novels are most enjoyed in sequence. This one has a surprise in the final paragraphs and does end in a cliffhanger.
