In the seventh installment of the Agent Pendergast series, Special Agent Aloysius Pendergast finds himself wrongly incarcerated in a maximum-security prison, framed for murders committed by his brilliant and psychotic brother, Diogenes. As Pendergast awaits trial, Diogenes unleashes his ultimate, horrific plan, using his brother's incarceration to set his scheme into motion. Meanwhile, the New York Museum of Natural History, reeling from a public relations nightmare after its stolen gem collection is returned pulverized to dust, decides to reopen the ancient Egyptian Tomb of Senef. This decision to unveil the long-closed exhibit triggers a series of mysterious and grisly murders, accompanied by whispers of an ancient curse. Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta works tirelessly to clear Pendergast's name and understand Diogenes's true intentions, risking his own career in the process. The stage is set for an epic, climactic showdown between the two brothers, where only one can emerge alive amidst the chaos and terror gripping New York City.
