About this listen
Before he can return to New York from Miami, Special Agent A.X.L. Pendergast is called to investigate something very strange that has happened on the west coast of Florida. Dozens of human feet, identically clad in blue, have washed up on beaches. All exhibit unmistakable signs of violence. Beyond that, nothing is known about the feet, except that they are fresh and haven't been in the water long.
Pendergast reluctantly makes his way to the barrier islands off South Florida to investigate a case he believes to be outside his area of expertise and his interest. Once there, he finds the case both disturbing and intriguing and is drawn into the mystery almost against his will. A preliminary pathology report indicates the feet were chopped, torn or even wrenched from their bodies in the crudest of ways.
Over the next few days, still more continue to wash in, until the number tops 100. Soon the case begins to take a most surprising and complex turn and Pendergast finds it necessary to call in Special Agent Armstrong Coldmoon for a risky and very specific undercover assignment. And when, at last, the true origin of this awful gift from the sea becomes clear, the former partners are forced to confront an enemy and a horror, more powerful and deadly than any they have faced before.

Awesome story and fave narrator from the Expanse
Wow, I missed a few in between the series as not all available, I held off listening to this as long as I could. Now it’s over and what an adventure, where do we go from here?! I just love this series and having Jefferson Mays bring it to life was like a perfect match. Bring on more! Please!
Toaster
Its great that Pendergast in back in form
I’ve stuck with this series for years now. There is a definite lull in quality somewhere in the middle of the series (*cough* Diogenes *cough*) but its great to see Preston and Child are well and truly back in form. Old Bones was great and Crooked River is fantastic. Looking forward to the next one!
