Forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme returns in this thriller from New York Times bestselling author Jeffrey Deaver's blockbuster series.

Amelia Sachs is hot on the trail of a killer. She's chasing him through a department store in Brooklyn when an escalator malfunctions. The stairs give way, with one man horribly mangled by the gears. Sachs is forced to let her quarry escape as she jumps in to try to help save the victim. She and famed forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme soon learn, however, that the incident may not have been an accident at all, but the first in a series of intentional attacks. They find themselves up against one of their most formidable opponents ever: a brilliant killer who turns common products into murder weapons.

As the body count threatens to grow, Sachs and Rhyme must race against the clock to unmask his identity—and discover his mission—before more people die. Crime Fiction Private Investigators Police Procedural Thriller & Suspense Mystery Crime Suspense Detective Fiction

No buffoonery to make the excitement flow. Good storyline and everything is seamlessly brought together at the end I love these books they're intelligent page turners to say the least. Great narration excellent. The conversation when read in audio doesn't sound sketchy. I never regret downloading a Lincoln/Amelia book, I wait with anticipation for the next one.

Jeffrey Deaver is a master of the plot twist. Eduardo Ballerini does his usual great job of bringing the characters to life. Don't break up this team!

This is a great book and we loved it! BUT, the worst reader! When you listen you cannot tell the difference between any of the characters as the read keep the same voice. So you are constantly replaying the story trying to figure out which character is talking.
