Synopsis
At the old family manse in Louisiana, Special Agent Pendergast is putting to rest long-ignored possessions reminiscent of his wife Helen's tragic death, only to make a stunning-and dreadful-discovery. Helen had been mauled by an unusually large and vicious lion while they were big game hunting in Africa. But now, Pendergast learns that her rifle-her only protection from the beast-had been deliberately loaded with blanks. Who could have wanted Helen dead...and why?
With Lieutenant Vincent D'Agosta's assistance, Pendergast embarks on a quest to uncover the mystery of his wife's murder. It is a journey that sends him deep into her past where he learns much that Helen herself had wished to keep hidden. Helen Pendergast had nursed a secret obsession with the famed naturalist-painter John James Audubon, in particular a long-lost painting of his known as the Black Frame.
As Pendergast probes more deeply into the riddle-the answer to which is revealed in a night of shocking violence, deep in the Louisiana bayou-he finds himself faced with an even greater question: who was the woman he married?

Reviews
Rene Auberjonois gives another outstanding performance reading Fever Dream! Angry and confused FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast and his friend NYPD Homicide Lt. Vincent D'Agosta are on an emotionally charged case. Who murdered Helen Pendergast more than 12 years ago? Pendergast and D'Agosta travel from Africa to the Louisiana bayous trying to find out about Helen while trying not to get killed! At the end of this book you will positively be saying, I can't wait until the next Agent Pendergast book comes out! FBI Agent Pendergast is a Southern Gentleman, who looks like an Undertaker, but acts like James Bond and he makes his own rules. Of all the books written by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, the ones featuring Agent Pendergast are my favorite. Action, Adventure, Mystery, Thrills, Suspense, Drama, all of these are in each Agent Pendergast book. For more detailed info on this book, please see above. Wouldn't want to spoil the story for anyone.
