Brimstone - Summary
Brimstone follows FBI Special Agent Pendergast and Police Sergeant D'Agosta as they investigate a series of mysterious deaths where victims are found burnt to a crisp with a sulfurous smell lingering in the air and cloven hoofprints nearby. As they delve deeper into these supernatural-seeming murders, they uncover connections to an ancient evil and a dark secret from the past that threatens to unleash hell on earth. The investigation leads them from New York's wealthy neighborhoods to the catacombs of Venice, Italy, as they race against time to stop what appears to be the Devil himself claiming souls.

An examination of whether evil exists as a supernatural force or emerges from human nature, challenging readers to consider the true source of malevolence in the world.
FAQ's
Yes, it is part of the Pendergast series by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, though it can be read as a standalone novel while being part of a larger story arc.
