Description
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Goodbye Man, discover Jeffery Deaver's gripping series featuring much-loved protagonists Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs.
'If you want thrills, Deaver is your man' Guardian
When a man is snatched from a New York street in broad daylight, the only clue is a miniature noose left on the pavement.
By the time criminal forensic scientist Lincoln Rhyme is involved, a video of the missing man is already online, his dying breaths set to a grisly music by someone calling himself The Composer.
Rhyme and fellow investigator Amelia Sachs must follow The Composer across the globe as he continues his horrifying creation, kidnapping further victims to add their last breaths to his piece.
But with Rhyme and Sachs in a whole new world with its own rules, how can they possibly guess what danger they're in when the music finally stops?
'One of the most consistent writers of clever, entertaining and often thought-provoking thrillers in the world' Simon Kernick
'Deaver is a master of plot twists, and they are abundant in this story...essential for fans of the franchise' Daily Mail
