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....
This is the first that I have read of Jeffery Deaver--really liked the book and looking forward to reading more of his work. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs characters work well in this mystery and the author keeps you guessng---thought I figured the mystery out but was really fooled. Many twists and turns. If you like mysteries I recomend this highly.
