Description
Ex-mob enforcer-turned-Private Investigator Isaiah Coleridge pits himself against a rich and powerful foe when he digs into a possible murder and a sketchy real-estate deal worth billions.
Ex-majordomo and bodyguard to an industrial tycoon-cum-US senator, Badja Adeyemi is in hiding and shortly on his way to either a jail cell or a grave, depending on who finds him first. In his final days as a free man, he hires Isaiah Coleridge to tie up a loose end: the suspicious death of his nephew four years earlier. At the time police declared it an accident, and Adeyemi isn't sure it wasn't, but one final look may bring his sister peace.
So it is that Coleridge and his investigative partner, Lionel Robard, find themselves in the upper reaches of New York State, in a tiny town that is home to outsized secrets and an unnerving cabal of locals who are protecting them. At the epicenter of it all is the site of a stalled supercollider project, an immense subterranean construction that may have an even deeper, more insidious purpose....

Great
I thoroughly enjoyed the prior entries in Barron's series with Coleridge, and had seen some.negaticr reviews of this one so I was a it concerned it would ruin the experience. Well, in the end I have no idea what the negative reviewers were on about.
This is an excellent noir style detective novel with a tougher-than-nails protagonist, his equally steely sidekick, and baddies that embody both the worst of very human nature and a touch of the beyond. The prose is wordy but not obtuse, the imagery vivid, and the action tight and tense. This ain't no picnic in the park, danger waits around every corner and promises death, or maybe worse.
The callbacks to Black Mountain and Coleridge's encounters hunting the Croatoan were solid, slowly expanding the series mythos, and Barron appears to be gradually connecting into what can only be described as his overarching cosmic horror setting. I speculate from in-story references that the world it's set in is the modern era of the world known as "antiquity", which adds another layer of depth if you've experienced his stories like "The Men from Porlock", "Bulldozer" and the like.
10/10, eagerly awaiting the next entry, and what else Coleridge and Lionel have in store for them.
