December, the coldest month of winter, also known as the "cold month", is a time when all things go dormant and die. It was at this moment that New York City ushered in a terrifying serial killer-the clockmaker.
Unknown corpses at the dock, simple office workers, flower shop owners, serving military officers...
What do these people have in common? The murderer left no trace at the scene, just like a perfect criminal who could not exist. For the first time, Lincoln Rhyme was so at a loss about a case, and yet, his right-hand assistant Sachs was investigating "another case" again.
The only thing that is the same is that the victims all received an eerie moon clock and a business card signed by the clockmaker. Two of them had been brutally killed, and the rest seemed to hear the approaching footsteps of death.
Tick, tick.
That's the sound of a clock.
Reader comments
I read Mr. Deaver's two works "The Vanishing Man" and "Cold Moon" in succession and I was deeply moved.
Mr. Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme series of novels are definitely the best detective novels in the world that focus on criminal science technology, especially trace evidence identification technology! In recent years, some detective novels focusing on criminal science or forensic science have appeared in China. They mainly rely on bloody, perverted and disgusting murder scenes to attract readers' attention. Compared with the Lincoln Rhyme series of novels, they are not inferior at all.
As the work unfolds, Mr. Deaver no longer describes the extraction and identification techniques of trace evidence in detail as he did in his initial works such as "Bone Jigsaw" and "Coffin Dancer". Instead, more space is given to Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs, our beloved readers, to write about their past and emotional life. Just like when we follow American dramas such as "CSI" and "Criminal Minds", what really attracts us is no longer the technical aspects, but the novel crime scenes that will appear and the life experiences of the protagonists.
As for Mr. Deaver's precise design of the plot and the many ups and downs of the plot, it is still amazing! When we see who the murderer is, we will subconsciously look at the progress bar. No one can tell what the truth is until the last moment!
Highly recommend all of Mr. Deaver's works! ! !
As the book says, "She has an inner strength, a strong and confident temperament." Moreover, the plot of the story has ups and downs, and I felt that my heartbeat was accelerating with the pace of the clockmaker. I can't wait to read the rest of the story!
Reversal and reversal. This real criminal is more powerful than the protagonist. The plan he planned alone was almost perfect, but unfortunately he met the protagonist and his team.
