Deaver's (The Burning Wire) cerebral criminal expert, wheelchair-bound Lincoln Rhyme, here investigates the murder of a prominent anti-American radio commentator in the Bahamas, and all of the clues point to a government-sanctioned hit. As he gets closer to the truth, Rhyme finds himself in extreme danger, and the conclusion is convoluted, complex, and highly emotional. The ethics of drone strikes and the control of the government over virtually every aspect of our lives is hotly debated and highly relevant. This is Deaver at his best, and the trio of readers—Jay Snyder, January LaVoy, and Edoardo Ballerini—do an excellent job of voicing a multitude of characters and of keeping the suspense thrumming until the very end.
VERDICT The built-in fan base for the series will welcome this selection; a high-interest item in all public libraries.
