A sea of unanswered questions. Dozens of identical shoes have washed up on the beach in the
quiet resort town of Sanibel Island Florida. They appear completely ordinary but for one thing
- each contains a crudely severed human foot. Faced with an incomprehensible puzzle and ever
more confusing pathology reports the local police call on FBI Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast
for his expertise. But with no answers and endless possibilities they are left with only
questions: What has happened and why? Where have the feet come from? And are the victims still
alive? Soon Pendergast will find himself entrenched in one of the most complex and
inexplicable challenges of his career. Praise for Preston and Child: 'Get ready for the ride
of your life' DAVID BALDACCI 'Will leave you breathless' LEE CHILD 'Fast-moving
sophisticated and bursting with surprises... There's nothing else like them' WASHINGTON POST
'White-hot bestselling suspense. Simply brilliant!' LISA GARDNER
