: The Stone Monkey
Author: Jeffery Deaver
Pretty cool book, though it wanders around a lot, and the twist conclusion is a little too convoluted for my taste. Still, I liked the characters of bed-ridden Lincoln Rhyme, the detective, and his female partner. The story’s about a Chinese criminal, a “snakehead,” who smuggles people into the U.S., but when things go wrong, he murders them and sets out destroying all witnesses and connections to himself. Lincoln cleverly figures out where the guy is from hardly any information, but the guy’s always one step in front (until the end, of course). Excellent.
