Summary
SOON TO BE A MAJOR TELEVISION EVENT FROM NBC, STARRING RUSSELL HORNSBY, ARIELLE KEBBEL, AND MICHAEL IMPERIOLI.
"Lincoln Rhyme is more relentless than ever" ( People ) and Jeffery Deaver delivers "supercharged tension" ( USA TODAY ) in this New York Times bestselling suspense masterwork.
NYPD criminalist Lincoln Rhyme joins his beautiful protégée Amelia Sachs, in the hunt for the Coffin Dancer--an ingenious killer who changes his appearance even faster than he adds to his trail of victims. They have only one clue: the madman has a tattoo of the Grim Reaper waltzing with a woman in front of a coffin. Rhyme must rely on his wits and intuition to track the elusive murderer through New York City--knowing they have only forty-eight hours before the Coffin Dancer strikes again.
This is a "heart-stopping" ( Booklist ) thriller from #1 international bestselling author Jeffery Deaver's "simply outstanding" ( San Jose Mercury News ) Lincoln Rhyme series!
