Grand Central Publishing · 2006 · 640pp · Book

An FBI agent, rotting away in a high-security prison for a murder he did not commit. His brilliant psychotic brother, about to perpetrate a horrific crime. A young woman with an extraordinary past, on the edge of a violent breakdown. An ancient tomb with an enigmatic curse, about to be unveiled at a celebrity-studded New York gala. The New York Museum of Natural History receives their pilfered gem collection back...ground down to dust. Diogenes, the psychotic killer who stole them in Dance of Death, is throwing down the gauntlet to both the city and to his brother, FBI Agent Pendergast, who is currently incarcerated in a maximum security prison.
