Book Six in the Lincoln Rhyme series.

Sixteen-year-old Geneva Settle is running from death. She may only be a high school student researching a paper on one of her ancestors, but someone sees her as a threat and will stop at nothing to stop her digging up the past. Lincoln Rhyme and his partner Amelia Sachs are called to the case. They have tracked down some of the world's most brilliant criminals, but this hunt is posing more questions than answers. Where will their prey strike next? What is the historic secret he's desperate to protect? And how can anyone catch a killer who leaves no trace? Sachs will have to search a crime scene that's over 140 years old and attempt to uncover a secret that that may strike at the heart of the United States constitution . . .

“The pace is terrific, the suspense inexorable, and there is an excellent climax . . . If you want thrills, Deaver is your man.” GUARDIAN. Crime Fiction Mystery Police Procedural Suspense Thriller & Suspense Fiction

Jeffery Deaver at his best. Great story line with many twists and seemingly unrelated sub plots. Unfortunately l found the narration annoyingly flat with many misplaced inflections spoiling the flow of the story.

Great story, but!

Loved the story, the characters and the narrator. Each character is so believable in their attitudes and mannerisms. The story itself should be made into a film, it kept me wanting more, was surprised by some of the twists in the story. I will no doubt listen to this book again and again.

Fantastically written. Always keeps you guessing and never an obvious twist until you see it laid out and then you understand the intricately woven threads. Narration brings this to life even further and would thoroughly recommend. One of the best in the series

Wonderfully twisting thriller

Good story. I had difficulty putting it down, as I could not hear it all in one session

The intricate plot stands out

This book deserves an award, there are sub plots and twists that keep you guessing till the end and I defy anyone to work out the plot. Even tho' there are several sub-plots, they all knot together and yet it is easy to follow each one and the narrator makes it interesting bringing each person to life. Cannot praise enough - I stumbled on this writer by chance and am working through all his novels and have not been disappointed by any. Keep them coming please....

BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT
