A different venue - the deep South, and an odd set of characters and circumstances. A typical good read from Deaver.

Fabulous Read
After seeing the movie Bone Collector and learning that it was based on the novel by Jeffery Deaver, I began collecting his other Lincoln Rhyme novels. This one keeps you on the edge of your seat and delivers up an excellent twist. I've enjoyed all of his novels, and am continuing to read both the older and newer Rhyme novels.
