From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Goodbye Man, discover Jeffery Deaver’s chilling series featuring much-loved protagonists Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs.
How can Lincoln Rhyme catch a killer who leaves no trace?
Sixteen-year-old Geneva Settle is running from death. She may only be a bright high school student researching a paper on one of her ancestors, but someone sees her as a threat. Someone who will stop at nothing to prevent her from digging up the past. Someone on a mission to kill.
Lincoln Rhyme and his partner Amelia Sachs are called to the case. They may have tracked down some of the world’s most brilliant criminals, but this particular hunt is posing more questions than answers. Where will their prey strike next? What is the historic secret he’s so desperate to protect? And how can anyone catch a killer who leaves no trace?
To find the answers, Sachs is going to have to search a crime scene that’s over 140 years old and attempt to uncover a secret that that may strike at the very 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

Reviews
'Deaver's investigators are two of crime fiction's most enduring characters, and once again he spins a fascinating and intriguing story. A certain hit.'
'Deaver is the master puzzler'
'Tightly plotted, with neat prose, this new thriller keeps the reader guessing'
'There's no question, though, about Deaver's unexcelled ability to pull the wool over your eyes. When he describes a colorless, odorless glass of liquid as water, don't assume it is until somebody drinks it down - or maybe till an hour later.'
'Enough twists and turns to keep you hooked all day'
