Crimson shore

Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child

Special Agent Pendergast takes on a private case in Exmouth, Massachusetts--a quaint village on the coast north of Salem--to investigate the theft of a valuable wine cellar. He travels to the seaside town with his ward, Constance Greene, where they quickly discover something far more sinister: a bricked-up niche in the wine cellar that holds the remains of a man, tortured and then entombed alive 150 years ago. But why? The puzzle is compounded when they discover a murdered body--covered with mysterious symbols--in the salt marshes behind Exmouth--the place where, legend has it, the real witches of Salem took refuge after fleeing the 1692 witch hunts
