About this listen
Technology is everywhere.
It makes our lives easier, our connections faster and journeys quicker.
But in the hands of someone smart enough, every piece of technology can be a murder weapon.
When an escalator gives way mid-chase, Amelia Sachs is forced to let a killer escape as she helps the man trapped in the depths.
Now Sachs and forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme must investigate if the collapse was a freak accident... or whether they are facing a murderer who knows exactly how fatal machines can be.

Critic reviews
A tightly plotted masterpiece
Flawlessly constructed and paced
The king of suspense is back and he's done it again...Riveting.
Deaver's formidable technological and forensic research, acute insight into the criminal mind, and insightful awareness of serious moral issues that affect modern life, make this breathlessly entertaining fiction
"Deavotees" will expect and gratefully receive the many twists and sudden turns . . . No one is better at narrative misdirection
Jeffery Deaver is a master at crafting intricate crimes that are solved through guile, tenacity and sheer creative genius. And Lincoln Rhyme is one of a kind (Harlan Coben)
The best psychological thriller writer around
Jeffery Deaver is grand master of the ticking-clock thriller (Kathy Reichs)
If you want thrills, Deaver is your man
Deaver is a master of manipulation himself; his skillfully constructed plots are devilishly tricky to track and impossible to solve, just the way we like them.
Whilst it may not have had the usual twists and turns that characterise some of the other Rhyme novels, the relationship between the main characters has grown and become almost comfortable, which far from being a criticism, makes the book flow well. Dare I say it Lincoln himself has softened slightly and is finally showing a glimmer of emotion!
As someone who works in the field of automation with web enabled products, I can confirm that theoretically much of what Jeffery Deaver writes about is possible, which from my perspective added to the enjoyment.
If I was to say one thing, it would be that there could have been a little more to the apprehension of Amelia's ex, Nick. I thought it was wrapped up with a bit of a leap of faith, which the author may argue was just the point.
A very fine book and thoroughly entertaining. If you like the idea of hacking into technology, a suggestion would be to read one of Deaver's earlier books, The Blue Nowhere, which although a little dated now technology wise, is a great book nonetheless.
Highly entertaining
