Synopsis

SOON TO BE A MAJOR TELEVISION EVENT FROM NBC, STARRING RUSSELL HORNSBY, ARIELLE KEBBEL, AND MICHAEL IMPERIOLI.

Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic detective made famous in The Bone Collector is back in a thriller from the masterful Jeffery Deaver. When a sadistic killer leaves clocks at his murder scenes, will time run out for the criminologist and his partner Amelia Sachs?

On a frigid December night, an eerie pattern emerges from two equally brutal murder scenes, where a killer’s calling card is a moon-faced clock that seemingly ticked away the victims’ last moments. From his wheelchair, criminologist Lincoln Rhyme tracks the Watchmaker, a time-obsessed genius. With every passing second, the Watchmaker is moving with razor-sharp precision to his next act of perfectly orchestrated violence—and Rhyme can’t afford to have his trusted partner Amelia Sachs distracted by a daunting homicide case of her own. Up against a brilliant madman, Rhyme and Sachs are locked in a blood-chilling race with their deadliest enemy: time itself.

Ce mai bun volum din serie și primul în care Rhyme are un adversar pe măsură lui.

My first Jeffery Deaver and I am not disappointed. The book has a wonderful plot with more twists and turns than a roller coaster. When you feel that the climax is near, you realise that only you have read only a third of the book and one-fourth is yet to be read. You find more twists in the plot. T......more

Mixed feelings This started off as another fantastic story from Mr Deaver, and finished as one. But in between seemed to be very convulted. Probably didn't help that the copy I was reading had no line gaps when the scene changed. You would be reading about one set of characters in one sentence, then......more

Introducing Kathryn Dance, kinesics expert and human lie detector! Jeffery Deaver's seventh Lincoln Rhyme novel THE COLD MOON (following THE TWELFTH CARD) treads the path of his now well-established pattern of fiendishly intricate multiple plots, red herrings, superbly realistic dialogue, continuing......more
