  <description><![CDATA[When a vicious smuggler known as the Ghost scuttles a ship filled with  undocumented Chinese immigrants less than a mile from New York harbor, only a  handful of survivors--and the Ghost himself--manage to escape the burning  vessel. Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic NYPD forensic detective first introduced  in 1997's <em>The Bone  Collector</em>, and Amelia Sachs, his partner and lover, must stop the Ghost  before he murders the two families who made it to shore. The families have gone  to ground in the all but impenetrable world of Manhattan's Chinatown, a fact  that makes the pair's two allies--Sonny Li, a Chinese cop, and Dr. John Sung-- invaluable partners.<br/><br/>The group's race against time showcases Jeffery Deaver's many talents,  particularly intricate plotting, plenty of surprising twists, and breakneck  pacing. This is a real standout from a writer whose previous thrillers have  earned him a solid following among mystery fans. <em>--Jane Adams</em>]]></description>

    <![CDATA[When a vicious smuggler known as the Ghost scuttles a ship filled with  undocumented Chinese immigrants less than a mile from New York harbor, only a  handful of survivors--and the Ghost himself--manage to escape the burning  vessel. Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic NYPD forensic detective first introduced  in 1997's <em>The Bone  Collector</em>, and Amelia Sachs, his partner and lover, must stop the Ghost  before he murders the two families who made it to shore. The families have gone  to ground in the all but impenetrable world of Manhattan's Chinatown, a fact  that makes the pair's two allies--Sonny Li, a Chinese cop, and Dr. John Sung-- invaluable partners.<br/><br/>The group's race against time showcases Jeffery Deaver's many talents,  particularly intricate plotting, plenty of surprising twists, and breakneck  pacing. This is a real standout from a writer whose previous thrillers have  earned him a solid following among mystery fans. <em>--Jane Adams</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[When a vicious smuggler known as the Ghost scuttles a ship filled with  undocumented Chinese immigrants less than a mile from New York harbor, only a  handful of survivors--and the Ghost himself--manage to escape the burning  vessel. Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic NYPD forensic detective first introduced  in 1997's <em>The Bone  Collector</em>, and Amelia Sachs, his partner and lover, must stop the Ghost  before he murders the two families who made it to shore. The families have gone  to ground in the all but impenetrable world of Manhattan's Chinatown, a fact  that makes the pair's two allies--Sonny Li, a Chinese cop, and Dr. John Sung-- invaluable partners.<br/><br/>The group's race against time showcases Jeffery Deaver's many talents,  particularly intricate plotting, plenty of surprising twists, and breakneck  pacing. This is a real standout from a writer whose previous thrillers have  earned him a solid following among mystery fans. <em>--Jane Adams</em>]]>
