A CBS New York Book Club Top 3 FicPick

"One would be hard-pressed to name a better writer of beat-the-clock thrillers than Jeffery Deaver. . . . The Watchmaker's Hand, his latest novel featuring the quadriplegic New York City criminalist Lincoln Rhyme, turns urban strife into a tense tick-tock narrative. . . . Mr. Deaver's book is an ingenious mechanism, designed to make the risks seem ever more real even as it increases the velocity of the pages being turned." --The Wall Street Journal

"The Rhyme novels are remarkably consistent: the writing is superb, the characters intriguing, the stories spellbinding, and the plot twists shocking. Fans of Deaver's long-running series will want to read this one as soon as they can. Expect high demand." --Booklist

"The Watchmaker's Hand is engineered with typical Deaver precision. The plot barrels along with numerous unexpected twists and turns. I loved it!" --Kathy Reichs, author of the Temperance Brennan Bones series.

"Jeffery Deaver is a master storyteller. His characters and plotting are second to none. One of the true giants of the genre." --Steve Cavanagh, author of Thirteen

"Deaver masterfully delivers another pulse-pounding Lincoln Rhyme thriller that takes you on a frenzied ride through a New York City teetering on the edge of chaos. Deaver's exquisite plotting and meticulous research shine, constructing a web of political intrigue that ensnares Rhyme in a deadly race against time. The shadowy Watchmaker adds a layer of psychological dread. . . . This is a high-octane, nail-biter of a read that solidifies Deaver's standing as the virtuoso of the modern crime thriller." --Mark Dawson, author of The Cleaner
