false 227729 27 This return engagement for quadriplegic criminologist Lincoln Rhyme is strong on forensic details as Rhyme tracks an elusive assassin known only by the tattoo that gives this fast-paced thriller its title. Three witnesses to a murder could put a millionaire arms dealer behind bars for good. When one of them, the co-owner of Hudson Air, is blown up in a plane bombing with the Dancer's fingerprints all over it, the FBI takes the other witnesses into protective custody. Only Rhyme can decipher a crime scene, read the residue of a bombing, or identify a handful of dirt well enough to keep up with the killer. Helped by Amelia Sachs, his brilliant and able-bodied assistant, Rhyme traces the Dancer through Manhattan streets, airports, and subways. The psychological tension builds rapidly from page one all the way to the stunning and unexpected denouement. At the same time, Jeffery Deaver slowly develops the against-all-odds love affair between Rhyme and Sachs. Fans of Patricia Cornwell and others in the growing subgenre of forensic thrillers will find a lot to enjoy in Deaver's latest. <I>--Jane Adams</I> 2495542 book 1998 The Coffin Dancer (Lincoln Rhyme, #2) total:1560|5:443|4:657|3:405|2:45|1:10| 1560 6158 2008 90 5 2 false false Wed Feb 27 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sat Dec 13 14:14:58 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 14:23:49 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Thu Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Wed Aug 22 16:52:28 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 23 14:20:48 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Sep 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 14:46:03 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 14:58:02 -0700 2009
