About this ebook

'This is the best Lincoln Rhyme book yet! It kept me on the edge all the way through, right up until the end. What a roller coaster ride!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Fantastic read! There were so many twists and turns, it kept me reading, desperate to find out what happened next, and to whom. Just when I thought I had it sussed, Jeffrey Deaver threw another twist into the mix!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Fast-paced, intense thriller that keeps you hooked from start to finish... with twists and turns you won't see coming. It's a true page-turner that keeps the suspense high and the surprises coming right up to the unexpected ending. A fantastic read for anyone who loves smart, well-crafted thrillers' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs will do anything to uncover the truth, so they must enter The Kill Room...

A sniper shot from a near-impossible distance. Evidence that the order came from the highest levels of US government. A New York DA who won't let it go.

Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs will risk everything to uncover the truth. But there is no crime scene investigation, no evidence, and no co-operation from the local Bahamian police.

No strangers to controversy, their reputation for seeing what others miss is unparalleled, and ambitious attorney Nance Laurel knows they will risk everything - even their lives - to seek the truth...

But first, they must enter The Kill Room...

Everyone is gripped by The Kill Room:

'Deaver's books are always winners... But, WOW! Toward the last half of the book the subplots and plots converge into a finale that is classic Deaver' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'A swift moving thriller with a few twists along the way. Kept me guessing and flipping pages' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Full of his trademark twists, breathless suspense and ironic humour. It is a thriller of 'bits, scraps, observations (and) 180 degree changes in direction' which never cheats the reader, so that the only response can be sighs of satisfaction and admiration' The Evening Standard

Writing a bond book seems to have influenced this. Some of the charicter introductions are long winded and repetative. If you have read deaver before you will like it.
