    About this audiobook

    Book Four in the Lincoln Rhyme series.

    Investigators Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are recruited to track down a cargo ship carrying illegal Chinese immigrants, as well as the notorious human smuggler and killer known as the Ghost. But when the capture goes disastrously wrong, Lincoln and Amelia find themselves in a race to stop the Ghost before he can track down and murder the two surviving families who have vanished deep into the world of New York's Chinese community. Over the next forty-eight hours the Ghost ruthlessly hunts for the families while Rhyme struggles desperately to find them first. Meanwhile, Sachs pursues a very different kind of policework - forming a connection with one of the immigrants that may have far reaching consequences for her relationship with her partner and lover, Lincoln Rhyme.

    • 5/5
      Another brilliant Lincoln Rhyme story. Just when you think it's over, more twists follow
    • 3/5
      Not bad. There were a few leaps of faith in here but overall I liked it.
    • 4/5
      When a ship full of Chinese illegal immigrants comes close to shore in the U.S., the Coast Guard heads out to meet them. But the “snakehead” (nicknamed “the Ghost”) -- the guy they paid to get them to the U.S. -- locks everyone (including the captain and crew) except his assistant below deck, and blows up the ship! A few people manage to escape, but it seems the Ghost won’t stop until he kills them all.I thought this was really good. The story was told from multiple points of view, including Amelia Sachs, the Ghost, a Chinese cop that came on the boat and managed to escape the blast, and two families that also escaped the ship. It’s darker than I usually like (although some darker ones I do like – and this was one of them). I don’t see that this is tagged noir or hard-boiled, but it seemed pretty gritty and dark to me. There was a good twist in this one. Have to admit, I’m not a big fan of Lincoln and Amelia’s relationship, though.
    • 1/5
      Book #4 in the Lincoln Rhyme series and it just did not resonate. After about 45 minutes of listening, I decided that I'd rather go to the dentist than read this book. So, DNF--and further; after a string of 2 and 3 ratings, I give up on the series and will spend my time doing anything else but read more Lincoln Rhyme.
    • 4/5
      “Po fu chen zhou.... Break the cauldrons and sink the boats.”My second human trafficking book in past two weeks! This time, it's Chinese immigrants being smuggled by ship, much like the movie “Lethal Weapon 4”, which was released four years before this book. The ‘snakehead’ doing the smuggling, nicknamed The Ghost, is Lincoln Rhyme’s adversary in this one.The book also has a lot of references to the game of wei-chi, which really reminded me of another book, “Shibumi”, a novel published in 1979, written by Trevanian.Still, similarities to other works aside, this is a good read, interesting and entertaining. Definitely follows the pattern of the other Lincoln Rhyme books I've read, which is good, as I've enjoyed those as well! And that being said, I'm on to #5!
    • 5/5
      This latest Lincoln Rhyme's book is a real goodie. A snakehead has a boatload of soon to be illegals from China that he's bringing to the U.S. As the boat nears New York, it explodes. The creepy snakehead and a few of the passengers survive. Lincoln and Amelia are on the hunt to find the creep and bring him down. Deaver draws the most interesting characters and there are a couple of choice ones in here.
    • 3/5
      Enough, Mr. Deaver. This is the second book where Amelia gets fooled. If it happens a third time, you've either got no imagination or a problem with women police officers.
    • 3/5
      too long and drawn out...still a good read.
    • 3/5
      Not quite as good as the others in the series, but not bad.
    • 3/5
      A fast paced read......a bit predictable.
    • 5/5
      Another great mystery in the so far excellent series. Serial killer, human smuggler, the Ghost - brings a cargo of a few dozen Chinese illegal immigrants to the shore of New York City. But just before reaching land, he's tracked by the Coast Guard, so he blows up the ship just before making his escape. About a dozen immigrants escape as well, so the Ghost must catch and kill them all before they blow his scheme and identity. As usual, with a lot of shrewd deduction on the barest shreds of evidence, with the help of a very likeable and resourceful Chinese detective Sonny Li, who was undercover as one of the immigrants, Lincoln and Amelia nab their man.
    • 3/5
      This is the first Jeffery Deaver novel I have read, and I was happy with it. It might not have been the most suspenseful thriller I have ever read, but it was a good mystery. I am looking forward to reading more.
    • 4/5
      A great thriller with an unexpected twist.
    • 4/5
      Another thriller with lots of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing - although I did begin did guess the true identity of The Ghost a few pages before it was announced, but this did not diminish my enjoyment of the book, especially as the final dénouement explained a major element of the plot which needed further explanation.
    • 5/5
      Tone of language: Deadly realistic tempered by philosophical musings Characters: At the top of their game, savvy and focused Plot twists: Clever maneuvers countered by brillliant deductions and a few surprising switched identities Pace: Unrelenting, ruthless Values: Embrace your limitations and accept the challenges Sexuality: Mostly sane, stable committed relationships. Background research: Chinese culture, spinal cord injury, forensics, deep sea diving Objectionable to any group: Chinese, the FBI Target audience: Everyone Flaws: One major flaw concerning why the smuggler would kill the immigrants on the boat instead of simply escaping from the boat is resolved at the end.
    • 5/5
      At first I didn't think I would like this one as much as The Empty Chair, but I was wrong. Jeffery Deaver once again creates a fabulous tale starring Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs--a quadraplegic and a woman with a painful case of chronic arthritis--who pair up time and again as an amazing team.I'll be looking for more Lincoln Rhyme/Amelia Sachs novels by Mr. Deaver.
    • 3/5
      Very entertaining if overlong. I whizzed through this 400-page thriller in a matter of 3 days. I doubt I’ll actively look for more Deaver, but, if he’s on the shelf when I’m looking for a beach read, then I might just pick up another.
    • 4/5
      A Lincoln Rhyme story - sequel to "The Bone Collector" which was made into a film starring Denzel (Drool) Washington and Angelina Jolie. This time they're into people smuggling with lots of twists and turns in the plot and I didn't guess the major plot twist until more than half way through (usually I know well within a few pages). I like these books and will have to borrow more.The Human smuggler is Chinese and he scuttles the boat he's bringing from China just as it arrives at the US coast killing almost everyone on board. Some people manage to escape and he starts hunting them down. There's a Chinese cop working with Lincoln and Amelia who is quite cool and interesting, his knowledge and attitude add tremendously to the story.
