New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Deaver returns with his next blockbuster thriller featuring forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme.

Amelia Sachs is hot on the trail of a killer. She's chasing him through a department store in Brooklyn when an escalator malfunctions. The stairs give way, with one man horribly mangled by the gears. Sachs is forced to let her quarry escape as she jumps in to try to help save the victim. She and famed forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme soon learn, however, that the incident may not be an accident at all, but the first in a series of intentional attacks. They find themselves up against one of their most formidable opponents ever: a brilliant killer who turns common products into murder weapons. As the body count threatens to grow, Sachs and Rhyme must race against the clock to unmask his identity--and discover his mission--before more people die.

Jeffery Deaver, "the master of manipulation" (Associated Press) and "the most creative, skilled and intriguing thriller writer in the world." (Daily Telegraph, UK) returns with the new, long-awaited, Kathryn Dance thriller.

Chiusa in una stanza, Gabriela aspetta da ore notizie della sua bambina. Finalmente, la porta di casa si apre. Ma non è la polizia, non è l'FBI: è l'uomo che ha sequestrato Sarah. E stringe in pugno una pistola... Comincia così, dalla fine, il thriller di Jeffery Deaver, che racconta a ritroso l'incubo in cui è precipitata improvvisamente la vita di Gabriela. Sua figlia Sarah di sei anni è stata rapita. E a lei hanno dato un ultimatum: se vuole rivederla viva, deve versare un riscatto di mezzo milione di dollari e recuperare un documento scottante, su cui molti vorrebbero mettere le mani, la October List. Il tutto nel giro di trenta ore. In un susseguirsi serrato di colpi di scena per le strade di Manhattan, Deaver intesse una storia adrenalinica che si dipana al contrario da una domenica sera al venerdì mattina, costruendo un inganno che si svela solo all'ultima pagina, ovvero al momento dell'imprevedibile inizio.

Randy Boggs è innocente. Rune, ambiziosa assistente cameraman in un notiziario locale newyorkese, ne è convinta. Prove inconsistenti, indagini superficiali, testimonianze frammentarie, tutto fa pensare che dietro a una frettolosa condanna per omicidio si nasconda una grande storia che aspetta solo di essere raccontata. Ma un uomo che si professa innocente non basta a fare notizia, questo le spiega Piper Sutton, anchorwoman di Current Events, trasmissione di punta del Network in cui la ragazza lavora, quando Rune le propone il servizio. Trasmetterà la storia a patto che Rune non rincorra un assurdo ideale di giustizia, ma cerchi solo la verità: Randy Boggs ha ucciso o no Lance Hopper, ex capo del Network? Con l'aiuto di Bradford, giovane stagista, e di Lee Maisel, produttore esecutivo del programma, Rune ricostruisce tutta la vicenda partendo dal cortile in cui Hopper è stato assassinato. Proprio lì la ragazza trova un nuovo testimone, la chiave che scagionerà Boggs e consegnerà a lei il posto che tanto sogna a Current Events. Ma il giorno della trasmissione, il servizio scompare nel nulla, cancellato dal sistema e rubato dalla scrivania di Rune, e il testimone viene trovato morto. La polizia parla di un incidente, ma la ragazza comincia a sospettare che dietro ai due eventi si nasconda il vero assassino di Hopper. Dopo 'Nero a Manhattan' e 'Requiem per una pornostar', Jeffery Deaver ci regala l'ultima avventura della 'Trilogia di Rune'.

Un uomo viene ucciso e unico testimone del delitto è il figlio piccolo. La vittima è un insospettabile corriere con solide ami- cizie, però, nelle gang di New York. Che cosa aveva traspor- tato? Per chi stava lavorando? E soprattutto: possibile che al ritrovamento del cadavere il furgone fosse vuoto? Sono que- sti i primi interrogativi ai quali Amelia Sachs e Lincoln Rhyme dovranno trovare una risposta. E in questo caso non potran- no fare affidamento sulle loro apparecchiature di analisi delle prove perché l’unica certezza iniziale è la contaminazione del- la scena del crimine. Rhyme, allora, dovrà cedere alla neces- sità di un’indagine condotta con metodi tradizionali, mentre Sachs avrà l’incombenza di tutelare il bambino da eventuali ritorsioni. Come se la caveranno i due tra marmocchi, geni- tori adottivi, false testimonianze e falsi criminali? Riuscirà il più famoso criminologo d’America a trovare il colpevole senza l’aiuto dei suoi infallibili strumenti? La posta in gioco è alta e il Re dei Morti aspetta solo di essere incoronato.

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jeffery Deaver, this masterly thriller travels at breakneck speed as criminologist Lincoln Rhyme and his protégé Amelia Sachs track down an ingenious killer.

Detective Lincoln Rhyme, the foremost criminalist in the NYPD, is on the hunt for an elusive murderer known as the Coffin Dancer. He’s a brilliant hit man who changes his appearance faster than he adds to his trail of victims, only one of whom has lived long enough to offer a clue: the assassin has an eerie tattoo on his arm of the Grim Reaper waltzing in front of a casket.

Rhyme, paralyzed from a line-of-duty accident, is certain he’s seen this killer before, and his suspicion of an earlier encounter fuels a bitter taste for vengeance. When the chameleon-like assassin targets three federal witnesses for death, the stakes reach a new high. Now Rhyme’s brainpower and his protégée Detective Amelia Sachs’s legwork are the only tools they have to track the cunning murderer through a darkly painted New York City—and they have only forty-eight hours before the Coffin Dancer strikes again.

Like Deaver’s previous bestselling Lincoln Rhyme novels, this psychological thriller combines spine-chilling forensic detail with a turbocharged plot. This is page-turning suspense of the highest order.
