Twelfth Card
About This Novel
Geneva, a high school girl, was reading a film of the Colored Weekly Illustrated in the 1860s in the library, which told the story of her ancestor, Charles Singleton. At this time, someone came over to attack her, and the crime left a tarot card at the scene. This is the twelfth card in the Tarot deck. The attacker was a hired killer, Thompson Boyd, whose employer wanted to kill her for unknown reasons. After the first attack in the library failed, Lincoln Rhyme analyzed the evidence left at the scene by the killer and concluded that he would strike again. The investigation into the case involves a death that occurred more than a hundred years ago: Genava's attack may have been related to what she was reading at the time. Charles Singleton was a former slave who participated in the civil rights movement of the 1860s after being freed, but was arrested and disgraced in connection with theft. But he insisted in court that he was innocent.
