The Watchmaker's Hand

By: Jeffery Deaver

Narrated by: Edoardo Ballerini

The "most clever plotter on the planet"(Publishers Weekly) Jeffery Deaver returns in this twisty new thriller, as forensic criminalist Lincoln Rhyme and detective Amelia Sachs track a criminal with a bizarre and catastrophic m.o.—toppling the construction cranes in New York City.

When a New York City construction crane mysteriously collapses, causing mass destruction and injury, Rhyme and Sachs are on the case. A political group claims responsibility for the sabotage and threatens another attack in twenty-four hours, unless its demands are met. The clock is ticking.

Then a clue reveals to Rhyme that his nemesis, known as the Watchmaker, has come to town to fulfill his promise of murdering the criminalist. Now Rhyme and Sachs have to dodge his brilliant scheme to destroy them both, while racing against time to stop the construction site terrorists.

With New York in a panic, Rhyme and his team must unravel a handful of plots as tightly wound as a timepiece—before more cranes fall, raining down death and destruction from above.

Excellent!

The Lincoln Rhyme Series are all thrilling, tense stories. This is the last book in the series - at this time. It is about the struggles between Lincoln Rhyme and the Watchmaker. All I can say is WOW! Great story; great narration.

Excellent time

I always learn a great deal— thank you for for sharing the day, the hour , the minute.

Wonderful Twists & Turns!!

Loved this book, like I do all Lincoln Rhyme/Amelia Sachs mysteries. Just a bit too twisty, if that’s possible???

Cleverly constructed plot

Cleverly constructed plot. A villan called the watchmaker OSS causing havoc by sabotage of construction cranes. A few other crimes get thrown in such as attempted presidential assassination. Email hacking to implant incriminating messages and an attempt on Rhyme’s life.
