I haven't read this one. I'll be interested in your opinion after you've read it. I've read a few of Jeff's books and enjoyed most of them.
He created a female detective in The Sleeping Doll and I thought he might be spinning her off to a new series. I don't know if he has done that or if there is any intention to do that but I liked the character and enjoyed the book.
While reading this book, I keep thinking . . . this reminds me of a movie. His book "A Maiden's Grave" was made into an HBO movie starring James Garner and Marlee Matling, his novel "The Bone Collector" was a Universal Pictures feature starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie. This is the movie I thought of with Washington and Jolie. Turner Broadcasting is currently making a TV movie of "Praying for Sleep."
Named A Notable Book Of The Year by the New York Times
"Veterans of the series won't be surprised by Deaver's surgical skill in cutting between predators and prey, setting up taxing ordeals and violent confrontations, and springing surprises long after a less inventive plotter would have thrown in the towel." – Kirkus Reviews
"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." — Amazon.com
This is a very busy book with plots and schemes. Who is the informer that enables the Ghost to be a step ahead? Toward the end of the book does the Ghost go back to China or is he going to stand trial for all the murders that he committed? Does he find the Chinese that escapsed? I highly reccommend the book.
