Publisher's summary

From Jeffery Deaver's "simply outstanding" (San Jose Mercury News) Lincoln Rhyme series comes this acclaimed New York Times best-seller!

Forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme is called in to work the high-profile investigation of a killer who seemingly disappeared into thin air just as the NYPD closed in. As the homicidal illusionist baits him with grisly murders that grow more diabolical with each victim, Rhyme and his protégée, Amelia Sachs, must go behind the smoke and mirrors to prevent a horrific act of vengeance that could become the greatest vanishing act of all....

©2003 Jeffery Deaver (P)2012 Simon & Schuster

The writing is fabulous.

I love these books. I read them years ago ... now I listen. So far we've have 5 books and 5 different narrators. Book 6 has a different one yet, it looks like. They've all been awful. The books themselves are fabulous. Mr. Deaver is an incredibly talented author and I'm completely invested until the last minute of each book.

Good story. Keeps you guessing.

Story was a bit long, but worth it. Ties up all loose ends. Guidall was awesome as usual.

Story good, narrator meh

I enjoyed this book but the voice of Lincoln Rhyme sounded too old. Hope the narration is better on the next one. Good story though, and I always learn something new in each of the LR books.

Delivery is annoying.

Narration is somewhat nerve grating and story line is not as good as most Deaver novels to listen but actual book might be.

One of my favorite Lincoln Rhyme books

This story does not disappoint and has very satisfying twists and turns as is classic Jeffery Deaver. I cannot imagine any reader who wouldn’t like this wonderful book.

Story is not believable

Decided listen to this book because George Guidall was reading it. He is one of the best. Book gets pretty ridiculous, had a hard time staying to the end

Don't love the narrator

It's a good story just like all of Deaver's but he ends up with some of the worst narrators I have ever heard. The narrator in this book, isn't a bad narrator. He has a good voice but not for this story. It just sounds off and it gets boring.
