The terrifying serial killer known as “The Promiser” has struck again in New York City, targeting couples who have fallen in love and are about to enter the sanctity of marriage. Yet his reason for doing so leaves people baffled.
Meanwhile, geothermal drilling has provoked the fury of environmental activists, and a series of minor earthquakes rocks New York City. Somehow, all of it seems to be closely connected to “The Promiser.”
Can Rhyme and Sachs, lovers and partners in crime-solving, escape the Promiser’s clutches? And how will they unravel this complex case, shrouded in layer upon layer of mystery?
In particular, the description of criminal psychology in the book is very detailed and realistic, which gave me a deeper understanding of the mentality of serial killers. This reminds me of some crime cases in real life, and also makes me cherish the people around me more. I think this book is not only a crime novel, but also an exploration of human nature. Just like the protagonists Lem and Sachs in the book, I was deeply inspired by their courage and persistence in the face of danger. I highly recommend this book to friends who like crime novels!
