Bestselling master of suspense Jeffery Deaver is back with a brand-new Lincoln Rhyme thriller. To save the life of a young girl who's being stalked by a ruthless hit man, Lincoln and his protégé, Amelia Sachs, are called upon to do the impossible: solve a truly "cold case" -- one that's 140 years old.
The Twelfth Card is a two-day cat-and-mouse chase through the streets of uptown Manhattan as quadriplegic detective Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs try to outguess Thompson Boyd -- by all appearances a nondescript, innocuous man, but one whose past has turned him into a killing machine as unfeeling and cunning as a wolf. Boyd is after Geneva Settle, a high school girl from Harlem, and it's up to Lincoln and Amelia to figure out why.
The motive may have to do with a term paper that Geneva is writing about her ancestor, Charles Singleton, a former slave. A teacher and farmer in New York State, Charles was active in the early civil rights movement but was arrested for theft and disgraced. Assisted by their team, Fred Dellray, Mel Cooper and Lon Sellitto (suffering badly from a case of nerves due to a near miss by the killer), Lincoln and Amelia work frantically to figure out where the hired gun will strike next and stop him, all the while trying to determine what actually happened on that hot July night in 1868 when Charles was arrested. What went on at the mysterious meetings he attended in Gallows Heights, a neighborhood on the Upper West Side of Manhattan that was a tense mix of wealthy financiers, political crooks like Boss Tweed and working-class laborers and thugs? And, most important for Geneva Settle's fate, what was the "secret" that tormented Charles's every waking hour?
Deaver's inimitable plotting keeps all these stories -- the past and the present -- racing at a lightning-fast clip as we learn stunning revelations that strike at the very heart of the U.S. Constitution and that could have disastrous consequences for today's human and civil rights in America. With breathtaking twists and multiple surprises that will keep readers on tenterhooks until the last page, this is Deaver's most compelling Lincoln Rhyme book to date.

迪佛还是很给劲的,结尾的N个大逆转一如既往地没法预测。 本来读完2/3时已经睡了,但是为了跟作者较劲,为了打破“你永远也猜不透迪佛”的准则,我又强忍着起床挑灯夜读。 结果……,我还是啥都没猜到。 迪佛的书除了“结尾大逆转”,另外一大特色是炫耀不同领域的知识(见识)...
評分被压了两年才播出的《十八年后的终极告白》成了今年港剧的口碑黑马。一具被意外发现的骸骨使十八年前参与案件的七人重逢,想尽一切方法掩饰当年行径,却引起接二连三的命案,一路看来不断反转颇多曲折,没想到近尾声处的“告白”之后又触发终极“支线剧情”,简直扑扑朔朔迷迷...
評分如果让我选择林肯·莱姆系列里个人最喜欢的,我会选择拥有林肯·莱姆、凯瑟琳·丹斯以及杰拉德·邓肯这些重量级角色的《冷月》。如果让我选择推理性最强的,我会选择一天前还是我最喜欢的那部《棺材舞者》。如果是选择印象最深的,我会选择拍成电影的《人骨拼图》。但是如果让...
評分Jeffery的书拿起来就放不下,我很少忠实的只读一本书。这本书中吸引人的是对废奴及立宪方面的描述,美国黑人与白人社会的冲突,一种无奈中的坚强性格。 书中的悬疑成分似乎有点牵强,这可能是美式风格的缺憾吧。 Jeffery是个美食家,这真是非常可爱。
