The Cold Moon: Lincoln Rhyme Book 7

Jeffery Deaver

5 Reviews

Rated 0

Fiction, Crime & mystery, Thriller / suspense

Lincoln Rhyme is threatened by his cleverest opponent yet in the seventh book in Jeffery Deaver's bestselling series.

It's the night of the full Cold Moon - the month of December according to the lunar calendar. A young man is found dead in lower Manhattan, the first in a series of victims of a man calling himself the Watchmaker. This killer's obsession with time drives him to plan the murders with the precision of fine timepieces, and the victims die prolonged deaths while an eerie clock ticks away their last minutes on earth.

Lincoln Rhyme, Amelia Sachs and the rest of the crew are approached to handle the case and stop the Watchmaker and his partner, Vincent Reynolds, a repulsive character with a special interest in the female victims of the killer.

Amelia is not only Lincoln's eyes and ears at crime scenes on the Watchmaker case, but she's now running her own homicide investigation - her first case as lead detective. Her unwavering efforts in pursuing the killers of a businessman, who left behind a wife and son, sets into motion clockwork gears of its own, with consequences reaching to people and events that will endanger not only many lives but also Lincoln's and Amelia's future together.

Praise for The Cold Moon: Lincoln Rhyme Book 7

  • Probably the best book he's ever written . . . Enough of Deaver's trademark twists to satisfy his most diehard fans . . . A great read. - Observer

  • At first this seems to be simply a superbly orchestrated chase novel . . . But then, as shock follows shock, a complex mystery unfolds, literally overnight. The plot twists are sudden, dazzling and unexpected, and climax in a breathtaking finale. - Scotsman

  • [The plot] is like opening up a Russian doll, and it's typical of Deaver's polished, clever entertainment. - Sunday Telegraph

  • The best psychological thriller writer around. - The Times

  • The most creative, skilled and intriguing thriller writer in the world . . . [Deaver] has produced a stunning series of bestsellers with unique characterisation, intelligent characters, beguiling plots and double-barrelled and sometimes triple-barrelled solutions. - Daily Telegraph
