Crooked River (A.X.L. Pendergast Series, Book #19) by Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child
Out of nowhere, dozens of identical, ordinary-looking shoes float in on the tide and are washed up on the tropical beach -- each one with a crudely severed human foot inside -- horrifying the quiet resort town of Sanibel Island, Florida.
Called away from vacation elsewhere in the state, Agent Pendergast reluctantly agrees to visit the crime scene -- and is quickly drawn in by the incomprehensible puzzle. With an ocean of possibilities confronting the investigation, no one is sure what happened, why, or from where the feet originated. And they desperately need to know: are the victims still alive?
In short order, Pendergast finds himself facing the most complex and inexplicable challenge of his career. Through shocking twists and turns, all trails lead back to a powerful adversary, one who sees Pendergast as the ideal subject for their malevolent research.
