FBI Agent Pendergast is back in this more recent thriller from the author pair whose past works include the bestsellers “Relic,” “Reliquary,” and more. Here, Pendergast is pulled into the discovery of a body in an attic. Not so much because of the body but what accompanies it: a hoofprint sizzled into the floor; the reek of sulfur. Pendergast discovers that 30 years earlier, something hellish had been conjured from depths. Now, it is Pendergast’s duty to stop what others have wrought. Like other Preston-Child books, hellish things walk the earth, but quite often the most hellish things grow within men’s souls.

In the image of his father
When you first look upon William Massey’s three-dimensional piece, “Essentially (For What It’s Worth),” it’s just a collage of stuff. There’s some glass, a car tag, a wheel and even a shoe. However, when you take a step back and look through a vintage, 1960s field camera that transposes the image upside down (or really right side up), a meticulous portrait of Massey’s father Bill is revealed.
