On a freezing December night, with a full moon hovering in the black skies over New York City, two people are brutally murdered - their prolonged deaths marked by eerie calling cards: moon-faced clocks ticking away the victims' last minutes on earth. Lincoln Rhyme and his team have only hours to stop the icy-cold, brilliant Watchmaker, whose obsession with time drives him to plan his carnage with the precision of a fine timepiece.

Amelia is not only Lincoln's eyes and ears on the Watchmaker investigation. She's now lead detective on her own first homicide - a case that sets into motion clockwork gears of its own.

A case with consequences which will endanger many lives, as well as Lincoln and Amelia's future together.

    It's a fun book, and often quite a page turner. But there are just too many twists in the plot, some of them nice surprises, some other half-expected. And after more than 500 pages there comeas a point where you just wish it'd be over will all the explanations and you could move on to other stories. One nice twist is that the bad guys aren't always that bad ... but then again ... and again maybe not! ;-)

  • I agree with NickBert that there were so many twists and turns that it was very hard to get my head around the plot, but i have come to realized that this is part of Jeffrey Deaver's trademark. You got to give the author credit for being able to come up with such complicated yet coherent plots.
