I've never read these authors before, and I think this series may be best started from the beginning. Pendergast is an odd character, rather Sherlockian, and I had a lot of questions unanswered by any explanation or backstory. Characters the reader is obviously supposed to know pop in and out. The main plot is a series of horrible killings that look like Satan has claimed a soul, but there's also an (IMO) unnecessary subplot with a reporter. I did finish it, but found myself easily distracted, putting it down about every 20 pages or so. Oh well, not my cup of tea.
