A famous writing duo returns with another part of the most unpredictable thriller series. FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast hasn't come back from his latest mission. What's more, Constance was kidnapped from his New York residence. But in the world of agent Pendergast, nothing is what it seems. Constance, in love with Pendergast, will become painfully aware of that truth, as well as Diogenes, Aloysius' brother, whom she hates. Will these two be joined again by some shared business? Is Pendergast still alive? The answers to these nagging questions are hidden in the obsidian chamber.

Behind the gates of a fabulous Hampton estate, FBI Special Agent Pendergast discovers the carnage of a gruesome crime, a nightmare of seemingly supernatural origin. The smoldering remains of infamous art critic Jeremy Grove, a melted cross branding his chest, are found in a locked, barricaded attic. The hoofprint singed into the floorboards and the smell of brimstone recall the legendary horrors that befall those who make a pact with the Devil.
