Synopsis:

A New York Times Bestseller

Bestselling master of suspense Jeffery Deaver is back. . . . Lincoln and his protégé, Amelia Sachs, are called upon to do the impossible: solve a truly "cold case" - one that's 140 years old. The Twelfth Card is a two-day cat-and-mouse chase through the streets of uptown Manhattan as quadriplegic detective Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs try to outguess Thompson Boyd - by all appearances a nondescript, innocuous man, but one whose past has turned him into a killing machine as unfeeling and cunning as a wolf. Boyd is after Geneva Settle, a high school girl from Harlem, and it's up to Lincoln and Amelia to figure out why. Deaver's inimitable plotting keeps all these stories - the past and the present - racing at a lightning-fast clip as we learn stunning revelations that strike at the very heart of the U.S. Constitution and that could have disastrous consequences for today's human and civil rights in America.
