Reviews

A tightly plotted masterpiece

Jeffery Deaver is grand master of the ticking-clock thriller
Kathy Reichs
The king of suspense is back and he's done it again...Riveting.
Glasgow Herald
Deaver's formidable technological and forensic research, acute insight into the criminal mind, and insightful awareness of serious moral issues that affect modern life, make this breathlessly entertaining fiction
Irish Independent
If you want thrills, Deaver is your man
Guardian
The best psychological thriller writer around
The Times
Flawlessly constructed and paced
The Sunday Times
Deaver is a master of manipulation himself; his skillfully constructed plots are devilishly tricky to track and impossible to solve, just the way we like them.
New York Times Book Review
"Deavotees" will expect and gratefully receive the many twists and sudden turns . . . No one is better at narrative misdirection
Evening Standard
Jeffery Deaver is a master at crafting intricate crimes that are solved through guile, tenacity and sheer creative genius. And Lincoln Rhyme is one of a kind
Harlan Coben
