| Jeffery Deaver Unabridged CD 15 Hours
On a freezing December night, with a full moon hovering in the black sky over
New York City, two people are brutally murdered -- the death scenes marked by
eerie matching calling cards: moon-faced clocks investigators fear ticked
away the victims' last moments on earth. Renowned criminologist Lincoln
Rhyme immediately identifies the clock distributor and has the chilling
realization that the killer -- who has dubbed himself the Watchmaker -- has more
murders planned in the hours to come.
Rhyme, a quadriplegic long confined to his wheelchair, immediately taps his
trusted partner and longtime love, Amelia Sachs, to walk the gird and be his
eyes and ears on the street. But Sachs has other commitments now --
namely, her first assignment as lead detective on a homicide of her own.
As she struggles to balance her pursuit of the infuriatingly elusive Watchmaker
with her own case, Sachs unearths shocking revelations about the police force
that threaten to undermine her career, her sense of self and her relationship
with Rhyme. As the Rhyme-Sachs team shows evidence of fissures, the
Watchmaker is methodically stalking his victims and planning a diabolical
criminal masterwork...Indeed, the Watchmaker may be the most cunning and
mesmerizing villain Rhyme and Sachs have ever encountered. |
