The Kill Room

By Jeffery Deaver (Hardcover Book, 2013)

It was a "million-dollar bullet," a sniper shot delivered from over a mile away. Its victim was no ordinary mark: he was a United States citizen, targeted by the United States government, and assassinated in the Bahamas.
The nation's most renowned investigator and forensics expert, Lincoln Rhyme, is drafted to investigate. While his partner, Amelia Sachs, traces the victim's steps in Manhattan, Rhyme leaves the city to pursue the sniper himself. As details of the case start to emerge, the pair discovers that not all is what it seems.
When a deadly, knife-wielding assassin begins systematically eliminating all evidence-including the witnesses-Lincoln's investigation turns into a chilling battle of wits against a cold-blooded killer.

THE KILL ROOM by Jeffrey Deaver

"This is Deaver at his very best and not to be missed by any thriller fan." (Publisher's Weekly (starred review) - A "Best Summer Book of 2013" ).
"Deaver, who can't resist any opportunity for ingenuity... keeps mixing fastballs, curveballs and change-ups." (Kirkus Reviews).
"Not even the brilliant Rhyme can foresee the shocking twists the case will take in this electrically charged thriller." (Publishers Weekly, (Starred Review) on The Burning Wire).
"A taut psychological thriller from a masterful crime writer, proving Deaver just gets better with each new novel." (June 2010 Indie Next List Great Reads list on The Burning Wire).
"This eighth novel featuring quadriplegic forensic expert Lincoln Rhyme is one of Deaver's best...Deaver has outdone himself." (The Globe and Mail on The Broken Window).
"Deaver's scarily believable depiction of identity theft in a total-surveillance society stokes our paranoia. A -." (Entertainment Weekly on The Broken Window).
"One of the most unnerving of Deaver's eight novels featuring his quadriplegic forensic detective, Lincoln Rhyme." (New York Times on The Broken Window).
"Rhyme is one of the mystery genre's most interesting and out-of-the-ordinary series leads...As always, Deaver's dialogue is exceptionally realistic, and his plotting is devilishly intricate. Recommended for fans of the Rhyme novels (naturally) and readers who like their thrillers laced with wit and sharp characterizations." (Booklist on The Broken Window).
