Último libro de la trilogía de Diógenes. Se desarrolla en dos tramas paralelas: los planes de este para llevar a cabo su crimen perfecto y los de su hermano para escaparse de la cárcel, en donde está injustamente, acusado de los delitos de Diógenes.
Por fin se aclaran todas las tramas medio insinuadas a lo largo de esta trilogía (y de los libros anteriores sobre Pendergast), entre ellos el quién es Constance (para mi uno de los personajes más sorprendentes de los tres tomos).

Another fantastic addition to the Pendergast series. I can say no more than it was a great read. The kind of book that makes you want to ignore everything else (work, food, sleep, pets) to keep reading.

Seriously. Read it.

I really enjoyed this one more than Fever Dream....being a NY'er I had a sense of presence in teh setting and found the characters more believable in this way! The ending was what I expected in a way but I am still confounded as to how someone could play a character for so long and not be detected... suspension of disbelief?!!??

A couple years back, I picked up a copy of this book from a local thrift store. The book sat on my shelf for roughly two years before I finally decided it was time to read it. Roughly a third of the way into this book I realized that I was missing some serious back story on the characters and the plot. After a little research, I found the first few books and dove headlong into this series. Now that I have finally restarted this book, and finished it, I not only have a sense of satisfaction but a much better understanding of what this story is about. While Relic and Reliquary are without a doubt the best part of this series, The Book of the Dead will always hold a special place in my heart for having introduced me to Pendergast and his friends.

The ending of this book is also the conclusion of the Diogenes trilogy; though it is not the end of Pendergast's adventures. The final two word of this book leave me with chills of dread and excitement all at once. I can't wait to begin the next chapter.
