Lincoln Rhyme Book 12

By: Jeffery Deaver

Narrated by: Jeff Harding

Master of suspense Jeffery Deaver returns with the latest gripping thriller featuring paraplegic forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme.

Technology is everywhere.
It makes our lives easier, our connections faster and journeys quicker.
But in the hands of someone smart enough, every piece of technology can be a murder weapon.

When an escalator gives way mid-chase, Amelia Sachs is forced to let a killer escape as she helps the man trapped in the depths.
Now Sachs and forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme must investigate if the collapse was a freak accident... or whether they are facing a murderer who knows exactly how fatal machines can be.

Critic reviews

A tightly plotted masterpiece

Flawlessly constructed and paced

The king of suspense is back and he's done it again...Riveting.

Deaver's formidable technological and forensic research, acute insight into the criminal mind, and insightful awareness of serious moral issues that affect modern life, make this breathlessly entertaining fiction

"Deavotees" will expect and gratefully receive the many twists and sudden turns . . . No one is better at narrative misdirection

Jeffery Deaver is a master at crafting intricate crimes that are solved through guile, tenacity and sheer creative genius. And Lincoln Rhyme is one of a kind (Harlan Coben)

The best psychological thriller writer around

Jeffery Deaver is grand master of the ticking-clock thriller (Kathy Reichs)

If you want thrills, Deaver is your man

Deaver is a master of manipulation himself; his skillfully constructed plots are devilishly tricky to track and impossible to solve, just the way we like them.

Jefferey Deaver does not disappoint

Always nice to drop in on Lincoln Rhyme and his cast of supporting characters to see what's going on in their lives and share their latest crime solving adventure with them. Jefferey Deaver does not disappoint and Richard Ferone's narration is always great. Another top tier effort in my library.

Another great read

Everything you come to expect from a Lincoln and Amelia book. Great plot and personal story. Excellent narrator.
