The Midnight Lock by Jeffery Deaver
Synopsis
The "master of ticking-bomb suspense" Jeffery Deaver brings us the latest thriller featuring his most beloved protagonists.
Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are back - on the hunt for a criminal terrorising New York City
A killer without limits
He comes into your home at night. He watches you as you sleep. He waits.
A city in turmoil
He calls himself 'The Locksmith'. No door can keep him out. No security system can catch him. And now he's about to kill.
A race against time to stop him
Nobody in New York is safe. Now it's up to Lincoln Rhyme to untangle the web of evidence and catch him. But with Lincoln under investigation himself, and tension in the city at boiling point, time is running out.
Reviews
'The wait has been worth it. This is prime Rhyme: a fiendishly smart villain, bewildering crimes, plenty of plot twists, and Lincoln, the quadriplegic criminalist, is at his cranky, belligerent, brilliantly clever best.' Booklist
'The dialogue and plotting are as sharp as ever in The Midnight Lock …If the burglar’s break-in feats often resemble magic, so do some of Deaver’s tricks.' The Sunday Times of London
'Some readers will be aghast in admiration at the nonstop revelations, others impatient for every last T to be crossed so that they can turn the last page and get to sleep before dawn. In the end, everyone will agree that there’s no other detective under the midnight moon like Lincoln Rhyme.' Kirkus Reviews
