Soon neighbors begin to disappear - only to reappear as the lifeless centerpieces of unspeakable displays. Convulsed with terror, the townsfolk whisper of the legendary Curse of the Forty-fives. No one is safe from a killer who stalks his prey in the blackness of night...and whose grotesque crimes are revealed by circling buzzards under the cruel summer sun.
With the help of Corrie Swanson, an eighteen-year-old misfit, Pendergast unearths the secrets of this isolated town - from the dark histories of its inhabitants to the darker mysteries hidden in the endless cornfields. And ultimately, as he unravels the local curse and the truth of Medicine Creek's greatest enigma, the Ghost Warrior Massacre of 1865, Pendergast comes face-to-face with the unimaginable evil that lies at the heart of this small town.

Geschichte
Nora Kelly, a young curator at the Santa Fe Institute of Archaeology, is approached by historian Clive Benton with a once-in-a-lifetime proposal: to lead a team in search of the so-called "Lost Camp" of the tragic Donner Party. Benton tells Kelly he has stumbled upon an amazing find: the long-sought diary of one of the victims, which has an enigmatic description of the Lost Camp. Nora agrees to lead an expedition to locate and excavate it-to reveal its long-buried secrets. Once in the mountains, they learn that discovering the camp is only the first step in a mounting journey of fear.

My name is Peter Grant and until January I was just probationary constable in that mighty army for justice known to all right-thinking people as the Metropolitan Police Service (as the Filth to everybody else). My only concerns in life were how to avoid a transfer to the Case Progression Unit - we do paperwork so real coppers don't have to - and finding a way to climb into the panties of the outrageously perky WPC Leslie May.

Wieder ein gelungenes Werk des Autorenduos
Als im verschlafenen Medicine Creek eine Leiche entdeckt wird, die sofort an einen Ritualmord denken lässt, ist der lokale Sheriff nach anfänglichem Zögern bereit, Special Agent Pendergast in die Ermittlungen einzubeziehen. - Dass weitere Leichen und ein furioses Finale folgen versteht sich bei den Autoren von selbst.
Die Charaktere sind wieder liebevoll herausgearbeitet und trotz aller Spannung fehlt es auch nicht am einen oder anderen Schmunzler.
Die Geschichte ist akkustisch gut aufbereitet, Rene Auberjonois liest/erzählt auch für Nicht-Muttersprachler mit entsprechendem Wortschatz verständlich und extrem unterhaltsam.
Für Fans von Special Agent Pendergast auf jeden Fall ein Schmankerl, das in der Sammlung nicht fehlen darf.
Für Einsteiger in die "Pendergast-Reihe" empfiehlt sich jedoch folgende Reihenfolge, um die Beziehungen der einzelnen Personen untereinander besser zu verstehen und Hintergründe zu kennen:
Relic / Das Relikt
Reliquary / Attic
Cabinet of Curiosities / Formula
Still Life with Crows / Ritual
Brimstone / Burn Case
Dance of Death
The Book of the Dead
Dark Secret

agent pendergast in den weiten der prärie -
das kann nur zu erheblichem schrecken und großer angst führen... die pendergast-romane leiden alle ein wenig an ihrer überfrachtung mit details und allzu ausführlichen schilderungen und pendergast selber wird nach zwei oder drei büchern - nun ja: vorhersehbar. erfreulicher weise finden preston und child hier einen ungewöhnlichen schauplatz und nutzen die gelegenheit dafür, interessante charaktere und einen wirklich erstaunlichen bösewicht zu erfinden (und die intelligente kürzung hilft auch, finde ich). mindestens zwei sterne gibt es für die wirklich hervorragende lesung durch rene auberjonois, der es schafft, der vielzahl an figuren eigene stimmen zu verleihen, ohne dabei aufgesetzt oder peinlich zu wirken (was bei deutschen hörbüchern leider allzu oft der fall ist).
