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.

這本的懸念還可以,但不如前麵幾部精彩
評分沒啥意思,故事沒什麼勁,而且講黑人的故事,不是太感興趣。

評分第一本看到一半看不下去的JEFFERY DEAVER的書。。。
看这本书,最大的感觉是“承上启下”。如果你看过之前的作品,你会惊讶的发现其中的不少配角在此书中出现(当然,还要记忆力足够好),如果你也看过之后的作品,你会知道某人的首次加入是在哪里。这本书由于以上的原因要放在后面看,因为其中涉及到《空椅子》《石猴子》...
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...

評分这是新星出版社推出的“林肯莱姆系列”的第五本,也是09年继《人骨拼图》之后的第二部杰夫里迪弗作品。 这部创作于2005年的小说,依然保持了“林肯莱姆”系列一贯的水准,快节奏、高智商,情节火爆,环环相扣,让读者拿起来就不忍放下。 关于本书,多余的话就不多说了,希望...
評分其实看林肯·莱姆系列需要一些耐心。并不是情节不够紧凑或者内容有何偏颇,只是每本500多页的厚度连着看,多少让人有些疲倦——当然,这和作者无关,只是贪心的读者大眼小肚的问题罢了。 莱姆系列对物证的强调在让人惊叹,严谨细致的推理、让人眼花缭乱的高科技分析手段和比证...
