Summary of The Stone Monkey (A Lincoln Rhyme Novel)
A heart-pounding case from one of crime fiction?s most acclaimed series proves once again ?there is no thriller writer today like Jeffery Deaver? (San Jose Mercury News).Forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme and his protégée Amelia Sachs have been recruited by the FBI to capture ?the Ghost,? a homicidal immigrant smuggler. But when they corner him aboard a cargo ship, the bust goes disastrously wrong and the Ghost escapes. Now, the killer must eliminate the only witnesses?two families who jumped ship and vanished into New York City?s Chinatown. Against a ruthless adversary, Rhyme and Sachs race to find the families before the Ghost can silence them. . . .
When a vicious smuggler known as the Ghost scuttles a ship filled with undocumented Chinese immigrants less than a mile from New York harbor, only a handful of survivors--and the Ghost himself--manage to escape the burning vessel. Lincoln Rhyme, the quadriplegic NYPD forensic detective first introduced in 1997's The Bone Collector, and Amelia Sachs, his partner and lover, must stop the Ghost before he murders the two families who made it to shore. The families have gone to ground in the all but impenetrable world of Manhattan's Chinatown, a fact that makes the pair's two allies--Sonny Li, a Chinese cop, and Dr. John Sung-- invaluable partners.
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. --Jane Adams
