    About this audiobook

    Der Schock trifft Pendergast ohne jede Vorbereitung: Seine Frau Helen, deren mysteriösen Tod er aufzuklären versucht, ist vermutlich noch am Leben! Aber wer liegt dann in ihrem Grab, und warum setzt Helens Bruder Judson Esterhazy alles daran, seinen Schwager auszuschalten? Pendergast beginnt unter Hochdruck zu ermitteln. Dabei kommt er einer skrupellosen Bruderschaft auf die Spur, die ihre dunklen Machenschaften seit langer Zeit erfolgreich verbirgt. Um Pendergast in die Knie zu zwingen, ist ihr jedes Mittel recht - und zum ersten Mal droht der sonst stets kühl kalkulierende Ermittler die Kontrolle zu verlieren...

      If you haven't read a Pendergast novel before...stop now, go back and begin with The Relic and read your way here. They're a bit gothic, scary, and too many characters tend to die--but they are also immense fun. This book won't disappoint Pendergast fans, and the whole series is one guilty pleasure you won't regret.
    • 5/5
      One of the best books I've seen from the duo up to now. It held me on the edge of my seat up until the end and I could not predict which way the action was going. This is a big plus, as I hate to figure out what is happening before the writer puts it down on the page. Pendergast is in top form and some questions left hanging in previous books are answered. New questions are also asked!
      I can't wait for the next book in this series.
    • 4/5
      I wish the characters would stop saying "I'll explain later", they almost never get back to it, grrr.
      Otherwise I'm really enjoying the development of the regular characters, approximately halfway through the .
      And the storyline is terrific!
    • 4/5
      The Pendergast books known as "The Helen Trilogy" -- named for Pendergast's wife -- are much easier to understand if they're read in the right order! The first book is Fever Dream. I was well into the third book, Two Graves, wondering how in the world (and when) would my questions about the plot be answered, when I discovered I had inadvertently skipped Cold Vengeance. So I kicked myself, put Two Graves on hold, and went back to read Cold Vengeance. With some relief I was able to recover some continuity among the books. The three books definitely need to be read together, and in order, to get the full story.
    • 4/5
      Cold Vengeance is a Special Agent Pendergast story. It takes place in present time. The situations are believable but the escape from them are difficult to accept. Although this is just a good story that was designed to entertain and indeed it does just that. It is not one of the better Special Agent Pendergast books. Therefore only four stars for this review.
    • 3/5
      Aloysius Pendergast doesn't disappoint!
    • 4/5
      Another great read in the Pendergast series. While some of these books aren't always a 5-star read, they're still incredibly enjoyable and I always find myself looking to grab the next one of the series at Barnes & Noble when it gets released each year. Hats off to Pendergast and all of his investigations.
    • 4/5
      It's hard to give a Pendergast book anything other than a 4 star note, but I am, admittedly, getting a bit tired of the cliffhanger endings...still, Pendergast is as interesting a character as there is in modern crime fiction and he stays fascinating. Fatigued or no I'll probably keep reading them.
    • 3/5
      While a major improvement over the last book I am still less than thrilled with the Helen trilogy. It seems to have forgotten everything about the series I loved. It has turned Pendergast into a bumbling fool. I know the next book is the last of the set. I really hope they figure this out or I am going to have to stop reading one of my favorite series.

    • 3/5
      I'm in complete agreement with other reviewers about the sad direction the Pendergast series is moving into. Pendergast was so different for the very fact that he was cerebral, bookish and wonderful at research. That he had "mad skills" in self defense was only a foil for his ultra-cerebral side. However, now the action figure side is being developed too much, to the extent to be unbelievable. Pendergast's heroic were always slightly fantastical but still just enough real to be believed. Sadly, this is no longer the case and it's such a shame to see a great character get lost.

      All that said, it was still an enjoyable book but with loose endings (for the obvious series) and going in a misguided direction.
    • 2/5
      Eh. As usual, the tired endpaths of a series just lay there, twitching. More questions than answers, and I'm not that interested in the questions.
    • 3/5
      Not the best of the Agent Pendergast books but it's still a good read. I found a torture/murder scene a bit too gruesome for my taste. This book also leaves more cliffhangers than previous ones in the series.
    • 3/5
      I normally really enjoy Pendergast books. This one had all the same elements I enjoyed in the other series. Interesting, way-out-there happenings. A really crazy hero who makes you wonder what is going on inside his head. One of my favorite characters came back in this one to make a showing (Cory from Still Life with Crows). My problem with this book is the plotline that will never end! In Fever Dream we found out that Pendergast's wife might have been murdered. In this book we were supposed to find out why. Did that happen? Nope, you have to go on to the next book, Two Graves, to find out what exactly happened with this woman.
    • 4/5
      "Cold Vengeance" is book two in the Helen Pendergast Trilogy, in which the special agent is hunting the reason for and the identity of his wife's murderers. It begins just a few weeks after the events of "Fever Dream". The novel is a deliciously drawn out cat and mouse game between Pendergast and the only opponent left standing in the last novel. As this pursuit unfolds, Pendergast comes to realize, "that he truly had not known his beloved wife. Like so many other fallible human beings, he had been blinded by love. He had not even begun to crack the ultimate mystery of her identity. Who was Helen Pendergast, and what was her family connected to? At one point, Pendergast's opponent challenges, "You think your fight's just with me, but you're wrong... The fact is you have no idea, no idea, of what you're dealing with."

      I do suggest reading "FEVER DREAM" first, even though it's not one of Preston/Child's best books. If you're totally new to Preston/Child, I'd suggest starting with their earlier, truly brilliant novels, such as "RELIC", "RIPTIDE", "THUNDERHEAD", "CABINET OF CURIOSITIES", and "STILL LIFE WITH CROWS". "STILL LIFE WITH CROWS" was where I first met Agent Pendergast. "COLD VENGENCE" is definitely and fun and exciting novel.
    • 4/5
      Wow, another great novel in the Pendergast series. So many surprises in this one, and an amazing ending. I can tell Two Graves will be yet another unforgettable Preston/Child novel to close up this trilogy inside the series.
    • 1/5
      I enjoyed Still Life With Crows. Cold Vengeance-not enough to read more than a fourth of the book. There were to many plots and sub plots to keep track of as well as skipping from Scotland, New York, Mississippi, Maine and other locations..Not recommended.
    • 2/5
      This is not a Pendergast novel. It is a bad Bond knockoff novel that happens to feature characters from, but who in reality have little relation to, the terrific earlier novels written by the purported authors of this one.
    • 3/5
      Chronologically this story picks up a few weeks after the conclusion of “Fever Dream”. Aloysius has once again come to grips with his beloved wife’s death and once again feels he has not much to live for. His brother-in-law is more than happy to try and make that particular wish come true. As Pendergast fights for his life we are given glimpses into what really happened to Helen, and could she, really, still be alive?

      I found this book a bit lacking in the idiosyncrasies that make Pendergast, well … that make him Pendergast. With only a few mentions of his usual cohorts Aloysius is pretty much alone with his quest in this book. I missed the interaction with other characters, particularly between Aloysius and D’Agosta. We do however find out a little bit more of Constance’s story, which I personally, enjoy.

      This is the second book of the “Helen Pendergast Trilogy”. And this trilogy resides within the Aloysius Pendergast series. {Preston and Child have done this before with the Cemetery Dance books). Is it just me or is reading getting more and more complicated??? If you are new to the Pendergast series I do strongly encourage you to read the books but it would be difficult to enjoy this one as a stand-alone book. A new reader would, at the very least, need to read Fever Dream first and quite possible go even further back to the Cemetery Dance trilogy.
    • 4/5
      Six-word review: Pendergast overmatched by ruthless unseen forces.Extended review:Cold Vengeance is the second book of a trilogy (the "Helen" trilogy) in the Special Agent Pendergast series. The first (Fever Dream) began with the stunning (to Pendergast) revelation that the death of his wife twelve years earlier was no accident but a bizarre, exquisitely planned murder. This discovery set Pendergast on a course of investigation and retribution that easily outpaces anything he's done before on a less personal motive.Part 2 delivers another major revelation early on, drastically shifting the course of the search to expose the killers and uncover the complex, horrifying web of secrets into which Pendergast's headlong quest has plunged him.Unlike numerous other novels in the Pendergast series, this trilogy deals with human monsters minus any supernatural agency or power. There's a different sort of "underground" chase, through a metaphorical labyrinth, without actual physical caves and tunnels and subterranean mazes.As characters from earlier in the series resurface and seem to be preparing to converge, the betrayals and reversals pile one upon another. The novel concludes with an unabashed cliffhanger that makes no pretense of being anything but a hook for part 3.That's okay. I made sure I had all three in hand before I started. Give me a few more days to get through Two Graves and I'll fill you in (unspoilingly, of course) on the conclusion.
    • 4/5
      Most of the Pendergast books are stand-alone...while there may be some references to events in other books, rarely is it necessary to enjoy the story. Last year I read Two Graves, the latest in the series. The opening sequence of that book is a direction continuation of Cold Vengeance. This book opens with our hero, Aloysius Pendergast, on a hunting trip with his dear brother in law. The brother of his now-dead wife. Deep in the Scottish moors, the BiL takes the opportunity to pop a cap into Pendergast, who naturally anticipated the event and tampered with the ammo. A fight ensues, and Pendergast winds up in quicksand with a bullet wound. Esterhazy, the BiL, leaves before confirming the kill (how convenient).Before Esterhazy leaves, he tells Pendergast that his wife is still alive. Pendergast recovers, sets about investigating this claim, then comes to a showdown with Esterhazy and his German allies. At this point there are some twists and turns that I won't spoil, but the end does setup the start of the next book.
    • 5/5
      Read Fever Dreams before you read this. This was excellent. Story arcs are woven together in a way that shows an evolution of crime from different aspects. Intrigue, murder, mystery and surprise ending mixed with interesting characters makes this book a page turner. I couldn't put it down :)
    • 3/5
      The latest in the Pendergast series has left me frustrated with the authors. The ending lacked originality and is trying to hard a being a cliff hanger. A good series will keep people reading without each book ending with a cliff hanger, and this opening ending just left me annoyed not eager for more.

      If my library gets the newest book in December I'll probably keep reading, hoping it will be more like The Cabinet of Curiosities (book 3) and less like Die Hard.
    • 4/5
      Special Agent Pendergast, having learned that his wife's death in a hunting accident 12 years ago was murder, learns that his brother-in-law, Judson Esterhazy, was involved in the conspiracy that ripped her from his life. As he digs into his wife's past, he discovers that there were huge swaths of her life that were hidden from him, and that the hidden group behind the conspiracy is much larger, older and more powerful than he had imagined. The Pendergast novels take on a new weight and complexity, with welcome aid from some old allies: Vincent D'Agosta, Constance Greene and Corrie Swanson.
    • 3/5
      The abrupt ending left me fearful that the next book would be bad.
    • 4/5
      Special Agent Pendergast's life never lets up...and that's a great thing for all of us! These books are amazingly addictive. And Preston and Child can just keep them comin' as far as I'm concerned. This 11th novel in the series is the second in a trilogy about Pendergast and his wife Helen. Finished it a half hour ago and I've already started TWO GRAVES, the 12th in the series.
    • 4/5
      Okay, I ran straight for this book after reading Fever Dream. We just had a big reveal at the end of that story and there was no waiting. Cold Vengeance lived up to expectations. It's gripping, non-stop suspense that constantly raises more questions than it answers, and for Pendergast fans, it gives more insight into the character than perhaps all previous Pendergast novels. The FBI Agent came dangerously close to the "edge" in Fever Dream, but in Cold Vengeance he leaps over that line. We see Pendergast as we've never seen him in his desperate pursuit of what may or may not be the truth. I'll say no more, as I hate to give spoilers. Although I enjoyed this book immensely, I expected more answers than I got. And near the end, when the brother-in-law is pressing Pendergast to go along with his plan, and insists that there's no time to explain -- it felt a bit forced. They did have time for a brief explanation about what was going on. One more thing -- the title doesn't seem to fit. This story wasn't about vengeance at all, but about finding the truth. Pendergast had more vengeance on the brain in the previous story, but with the new information he has, he's moved on. Finally, I have one question for the authors, Preston and Child: REALLY??? You really left us there? I've read that there won't be another Pendergast novel for a while, and that makes the ending to this novel so much WORSE! Normally, I would have already started the next one - but there is no next one, with no date on when you'll pick up the tale. You are not finished with Agent Pendergast. There are too many unanswered questions, too many dangling threads. You have two characters that have been kidnapped, a secondary character possibly mortally injured, Pendergast bleeding, and implications all over the place that there's a whole bunch more going on -- with multiple characters. Just in case you get it in your head that you're tired of writing this character -- sorry, but with an ending like that, you are not allowed to stop. Just saying.
    • 4/5
      Nice to see a better quality production than has been recently coming from Preston & Child. Almost as good as their earlier work. Introduction of the mysterious Covenant to the story seems too artificial and formulaic though.
    • 4/5
      Latest installment of the Agent Pendergast series; pretty good but they do seem to be getting pretty formulaic. Pendergast gets into an impossible life or death situation and gets out of it, is surrounded by mysterious and loyal helpers. Bad guys usually get theirs, courtesy of the FBI agent extraordinaire. Some pretty wince-worthy description of just how the bad guys meet their maker. To mix it up, I listened to this on audiobook, which was pretty enjoyable--reader Rene Auberjonois does a very good job. The cliffhanger at the end was so overt "tune in for the next installment!", it was slightly annoying.
    • 4/5
      As are all the Pendergast novels - an excellent yarn, action packed historical intrigue - a fun and easy read
    • 5/5
      Excellent story, mission impossible.
