The Burning Wire by Jeffery Deaver
The electrifying ninth Lincoln Rhyme thriller.'A no-holds-barred page-turner. One of the masters of the thriller art, it's no surprise Deaver's been chosen to write a new James Bond for 2011.' * Daily Mail *
Jeffery Deaver is something of a summer tradition for thriller fans, and a Lincoln Rhyme novel makes for a bumper year. The iconic detective is back for a ninth time in THE BURNING WIRE, and everything else we love is there too: New York setting, accurate to the very street - check! Pages of (literally) forensic detail - check! And a killer more devious and gruesome than even last year's - check! Deaver's pacy prose is addictive enough to result in dreadful sunburn if read on the beach, so approach with caution. * Independent on Sunday *
'Ingenious plotting is combined with ample helpings of information, about both New York's infrastructure and the hero's disability' * Sunday Times *
'Brilliant . . . it's easy to get swept up in the sheer velocity of the action' * Scotsman *
'The art of writing blockbuster thrillers is not easily mastered but Deaver has it at his fingertips. One of his specialities is the out-of-left-field revelation and The Burning Wire is brimming with them.' * Daily Express *
'With 26 novels to his name Deaver is an old hand at delivering the goods . . . he still does it better than most, whacking his readers with a neat one-two plot twist as they enter the final straight.' * Observer Thriller of the Month *
'Deaver is a master of misdirection and the plot will keep you guessing to the end. A powerful read indeed.' * Evening Standard *
'[An] electrically charged thriller.' * Publishers Weekly starred review *
