About this listen

Master of suspense Jeffery Deaver returns with the latest gripping thriller featuring paraplegic forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme.

Technology is everywhere.
It makes our lives easier, our connections faster and journeys quicker.
But in the hands of someone smart enough, every piece of technology can be a murder weapon.

When an escalator gives way mid-chase, Amelia Sachs is forced to let a killer escape as she helps the man trapped in the depths.
Now Sachs and forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme must investigate if the collapse was a freak accident... or whether they are facing a murderer who knows exactly how fatal machines can be.

Critic Reviews

A tightly plotted masterpiece
Flawlessly constructed and paced
The king of suspense is back and he's done it again...Riveting.
Deaver's formidable technological and forensic research, acute insight into the criminal mind, and insightful awareness of serious moral issues that affect modern life, make this breathlessly entertaining fiction
"Deavotees" will expect and gratefully receive the many twists and sudden turns . . . No one is better at narrative misdirection
Jeffery Deaver is a master at crafting intricate crimes that are solved through guile, tenacity and sheer creative genius. And Lincoln Rhyme is one of a kind (Harlan Coben)
The best psychological thriller writer around
Jeffery Deaver is grand master of the ticking-clock thriller (Kathy Reichs)
If you want thrills, Deaver is your man
Deaver is a master of manipulation himself; his skillfully constructed plots are devilishly tricky to track and impossible to solve, just the way we like them.

A good plot with unexpected twists in typical Deaver style. I really enjoyed this story and the narrators efforts also. The only part which bugged me is the narrators voice change when the boards are being read out, silly I know bit I'm sure you will know what I mean after hearing it ;)
