"It begins at a prestigious music school in New York City. A killer flees the scene of a homicide and locks himself in a classroom. Within minutes, the police have him surrounded. When a scream rings out, followed by a gunshot, they break down the door. The room is empty." Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are brought in to help with the high-profile investigation. For the ambitious Sachs, solving the case could earn her a promotion. For the quadriplegic Rhyme, it means relying on his protege to ferret out a master illusionist they've dubbed "the conjurer," who baits them with gruesome murders that become more diabolical with each fresh crime. As the fatalities rise and the minutes tick down, Rhyme and Sachs must move beyond the smoke and mirrors to prevent a terrifying act of vengeance that could become the greatest vanishing act of all.

"What happens when you pick up a murder mystery from your husband’s bookshelf, like it, then realize it’s the 5th in a series of more than that? Add to my TBR list! The Lincoln Rhyme character is (of course) a super smart detective and the overlay of a magician suspect adds a layer of intrigue. Good read for mystery lovers. "

"Screw a plot twist, this books is a plot tornado! The turns keep coming and you never know what the killer will do next or where the book is going! Just when you think you have figured out the book, you’re blindsided! But it all makes sense when it happens and you’re on your a*s the whole book. It’s whole-heartedly a you’re-along-for-the-ride book and you won’t be able to put it down! 15/10 would recommend!!! #mystery_and_detective #crime #police_procedural #suspense #general "
