Publisher Description
SOON TO BE A MAJOR TELEVISION EVENT FROM NBC, STARRING RUSSELL HORNSBY, ARIELLE KEBBEL, AND MICHAEL IMPERIOLI.
Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic detective made famous in The Bone Collector is back in a thriller from the masterful Jeffery Deaver. When a sadistic killer leaves clocks at his murder scenes, will time run out for the criminologist and his partner Amelia Sachs?
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.

"A friend from work lent me this book. Little did I know that I was getting in the middle of a series. I don't know if they should be read in order- but I read this one first. I liked this so much that I went on ebay and bought the rest of them, including the spin off with Kathyrn."

Quotes
-
“This is a novel that will chill your blood on the warmest day of any summer holiday. Keep looking over your shoulder.”
— Independent on Sunday (London) -
“Deaver fans won’t be surprised that the investigations overlap, or that the several apparent climaxes building to something more, but even they will be hard-pressed to peel back all the layers of the cunning plot at work beneath the surface.”
— Publishers Weekly -
“As always, Deaver’s dialogue is exceptionally realistic, and his plotting is devilishly intricate. Recommended for…readers who like their thrillers laced with wit and sharp characterizations.”
— Booklist -
“Deaver is a master of manipulation and the straightforward story is miles away from the narrative’s real undercurrent. Readers will be shocked and amazed at the end result of this ingenious way to pass the time.”

" This was only the second book by Jeffrey Deaver that I've read but I did enjoy it. At first I found it to be a bit slow-moving, but as I read further I started enjoying it more. I will definitely read more of this author's work. "
— Wendy, 2/18/2014 -
" Starts slow, get's better, then gets even better, then slows down again. "
— Suzy, 2/14/2014 -
" This is the second of Jeffery Deaver's books I have read. I really liked the first but I couldn't get very far in this one because of the violence and the sexual innuendo. I like a good mystery but good grief, I don't need the gory details of the sexual thoughts of the murderer and the gruesome, nasty details of the crime scene repeated over and over again. This book made me rething Jeffery Deaver. "
— Shauna, 2/8/2014 -
" Competent, though Im not the biggest Lincoln Rhyme fan. "
— Nperasmus, 2/6/2014 -
" Another Sachs and Rhyme crime solved as they work together to find the serial killer that is leaving clocks at the crime scenes. Rhyme is his clever self as usual and is able to figure out things when you would least expect it. "
— Jc, 2/5/2014 -
" I have come to fall in love with the characters of the Lincoln Rhymes Series including the new character, Karthyrn Dance. Jeffrey Deaver is amazingly adept at crafting an incredible story, yet, with his own hallmarks! Loved this book! "
— Dominique, 1/25/2014 -
" Een echte pageturner. Terwijl je het leest heb je natuurlijk tal van ideeen wie de moordenaar is. Deze schrijver echter weet echt het plot spannend en het slot is niet wat je verwacht had. Een volgende vakantie weer een Jeffery Deaver meenemen. "
— Marina, 1/24/2014 -
" I didn't want this book to end. But it did, and now I'm sad because I want another adventure with Lincoln Rhyme. But more importantly with Amelia Sachs! "
— Book, 1/19/2014 -
" Love the Lincoln Rhyme series! "
— Mea, 1/18/2014 -
" Very eye-opening story about how much information data "miners" collect on us -- and we unsuspectingly give it away! Huge business that one bent mind used for his evil goals. "
— Becky, 1/15/2014 -
" I like books where one or more of the killers get away so there is another book! "
— Christine, 1/7/2014 -
" Realy liked this book. "
— Debi, 12/22/2013 -
" Standard Deaver Fayre. Plenty of the usual surprises. "
— Neil, 9/14/2013 -
" I'm giving this 3 stars because there were too many plot twists this time. Usually I like Deaver's plot twists, but this time he turned the plot in too many implausible directions, and at the end, the main bad guy got away. "
— Mark, 3/29/2013 -
" I loved this book. There are so many twists. "
— Jen, 1/27/2013 -

" This is one hell of a book, perhaps the first book I read where they... hmmm... but still it was already perfect, until it just become draggy with too many twists and turns that wasn't really necessary anymore... almost.. almost... "
— Ann, 4/6/2012 -
" This Lincoln Rhyme novel has the team trying to catch a dangerous killer calling himself The Watchmaker who has people in New York in fear. Lincoln, Amelia and the team try to decipher his cryptic clues while also investigating some corrupt cops. A lot of twists and turns in this one a good read. "
— Lee, 3/24/2012 -
" I love a book that can surprise me, keep me on my toes, and send me for a loop. This one had me second and third guess myself. I usually can see where a mystery is going, but here all bets are off. "
— Tracy, 1/10/2012 -
" Good audiobook. A nice murder mystery with some good twists but not really exceptional. "
— Lori, 12/16/2011 -
" Great thriller with lots of twists and turns. "
— Jo, 9/24/2011 -
" It was okay, I think it could have ended a few chapters sooner than it did. I have read many of his books so I won't let this one stop me. "
— ScottK, 8/10/2011 -
" the number of twists gets almost silly but definitely a page turner, I'll read more "
— Sholeen, 4/28/2011 -
" I like the Rhyme-books and have another waiting for me. This one was really good, I like the topic of time and all the complications which came to the surface. "
— Anna, 4/10/2011 -

" really liked this book..kept me guessing till the end "
— Virginia, 2/22/2011 -
" This may be Deaver's most ambitious work. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Plenty of plot twists, and thankfully, none of them overreach. The Watchmaker is a great villain, and he reappears on the periphery of <em>The Broken Window,</em> which is probably my second-favorite Rhyme novel. "
— Elaine, 2/5/2011 -
" Although I liked this book, there were almost too many twists at the end for my taste. "
— Lisa, 1/29/2011 -
" this book wasn't his best but it wasn't half bad. i was a little disappointed with the ending but overall, it had some pretty good twists. "
