Special Agent Pendergast takes on a private case in Exmouth, Massachusetts—a quaint village on the coast north of Salem—to investigate the theft of a valuable wine collection. He travels to the seaside town with his ward, Constance Greene, where they quickly discover something far more sinister: a bricked-up niche in the wine cellar that holds the remains of a man, tortured and then entombed alive 150 years ago. But why?

The puzzle is compounded when they discover a freshly murdered body—covered with mysterious symbols—in the salt marshes behind Exmouth…the place where, legend has it, the real witches of Salem took refuge after fleeing the 1692 witch hunts.

"It’s like Christmas for lovers of suspense when the words “Preston & Child” once again appear on a book cover. It’s a truly great Christmas when the main character of that novel is Aloysius X. L. Pendergast. For those who have read these books voraciously, it’s not a surprise to learn that this latest tale is one that will keep you riveted until the very end….The team of Preston & Child continue to make these books the absolute best there is in the suspense realm."
