Book Description:
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.

Another spectacular story from Jeffrey Deaver, this book has many subplots and will keep you interested and guessing until the end of the story. I love reading a good book while also learning something of historical significance.

I think Lincoln Rhyme is my favorite detective. In this book he really does a great job at helping a high school girl track down the man who wants her dead. It was scary, I couldn't put it down. Deaver did an awesome job with the magic and his descriptions on how it works. Love this book.

This is another of the Lincoln Rhyme series where he and his protege, Amelia Sachs helps a Harlem girl dig into the past if one of her ancestors. A well fashioned thriller.

This suspensful package is another fine entry in the Lincoln Rhymes series, but the ending drags on forever as Deaver reveals layer after layer of deception and misdirection.

I probably shouldn't even be writing a review on this. I'm in love with Lincolln Rhyme. I would follow him anywhere, sharp remarks and all.

Jeffery Deaver has never, ever disappointed me in a book he's written. Solid, solid writing. I love him too.

It takes Linclin Rhyme and his staff along with many experst that contact to solve this 140 year old case with its modern ties. Very Good!

Deavers continues his tradition of excellence in the latest Lincoln Rhyme novel. Just when you think you have it all figured out - along comes another "180". (If you read the book, you'll understand the literary significance of the "180".) His grasp of the areas he writes about and his ability to bring them to life are really astounding.

*this book has some curling on cover and pages. If this is a problem for you, don't order this one. It is still in very readable condition.

I'm not much of a mystery reader, but since Jeff Deaver is a highly acclaimed mystery write, I thought I'd try it. I especially enjoy books that go back to past generations of a family. He's a good writer, but I still prefer non-fiction.
