Synopsis

In this spellbinding short story from two #1 New York Times bestselling authors, a young Pendergast must protect his brother from a sinister New Orleans legend.

In New Orleans' French Quarter, the Tooth Fairy isn't a benevolent sprite who slips money under your pillow at night ... he's a mysterious old recluse who must be appeased with teeth—lest he extract retribution. When young Diogenes Pendergast loses a tooth, however, his skeptical older brother Aloysius is determined to put the legend to the test ... with dire consequences.

When I saw Extraction, a short story in the Pendergast series written by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, was only 25 pages, I borrowed it from the library as a quick read in between the next installment.

It gives us a closer look at the relationship between Pendergast and his brother. And wonder of wonders, Pendergast actually realises and articulates what a shite of an......more
