Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Bestseller Deaver's twisty seventh Lincoln Rhyme novel (after 2005's The Twelfth Card) pits Rhyme, the quadriplegic NYPD detective, against a brilliant criminal mastermind called the Watchmaker. Assisted by his longtime partner, Det. Amelia Sachs, an expert at forensic analysis, Rhyme probes two bizarre murders linked by the killer's calling card—a clock left at the scene. The Watchmaker, as an ominous poem also left at the scene suggests, is bent on executing eight more people in a variety of ways intended to prolong their suffering. Deaver cleverly alternates between the Rhyme/Sachs team and the Watchmaker and his assistant, heightening tension by introducing the next targets and humanizing them. Sachs loses some focus when she also has to probe a suicide that she suspects is connected with some corrupt brother officers. Deaver fans won't be surprised that the investigations overlap, or that the several apparent climaxes are building to something more, but even they will be hard-pressed to peel back all the layers of the cunning plot at work beneath the surface.

From AudioFile
In the latest Lincoln Rhyme mystery, a deadly duo working under the moniker of the "Watchmaker" systematically does away with victims, leaving behind a ticking clock. Joe Mantegna adds some shading and darkness to his familiar tough-guy voice and manages to maintain the momentum throughout this police procedural whose unique protagonist is a quadriplegic NYPD detective. There will be no disappointments for Deaver fans, who will find some new twists--fissures in Lincoln Rhyme's relationship with ladylove Amelia Sachs, a forensics expert, and the dual murder story lines. Those not accustomed to the gruesome details of a Deaver plot should consider themselves forewarned. R.W.S. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
