The Twelfth Card
Trapped inside a paralysed body, Rhyme’s brilliant mind is channels led through his partners, policewoman Amelia Sachs, as they work frantically to anticipate where the hitman will strike next, and how to stop him. And Rhyme and Sachs soon realise the only way to stop the killer is to discover the secret Charles Singleton took to his grave over 140 years ago — a secret that threatens to destroy the future of human rights itself. The eagerly awaited new Lincoln Rhyme novel proves once again that with his mastery of the stunning plot twist and breakneck narrative drive, Jeffery Deaver is the outstanding thriller writer of today. |
A
remarkable oral history of the Third Reich, which draws on a wealth of
first-hand interviews and unprecedented written surveys. Hundreds of
Germans and Jews have recalled, often for the first time, their
experiences of Nazi Germany in horrifying, moving and compellingly
honest accounts. Jews have spoken about harassment and countervailing
support of their German neighbours; of going into hiding, being
deported, and harrowing journeys by train to concentration camps. An
extraordinary number of ordinary Germans have admitted to knowing about
the murder of Jews, and a large proportion say that they admired Hitler
and believed in the Nazi movement. It is essential that the reasons for
such support are understood and remembered—this groundbreaking
research marks a comprehensive shift in Holocaust studies.
School’s out forever…
And the high school reunion is a killer. Because something, or someone,
is eliminating Evan Delaney’s graduating class. For Evan, China Lake
was a tough place to grow up. But she didn’t realise just how tough
until, returning to the desert military base for her high school
reunion, she discovers that a disturbing number of her classmates have
died young. And the night of the reunion, another one is savagely
butchered. She is just the first. There is a serial killer on the loose.
One with a major axe to grind with China Lake high school graduates.
Evan Delaney’s quick tongue and hot temper have got her into trouble
before, in Meg Gardiner’s previous high-octane thrillers—China
Lake, Mission Canyon and Jericho Point. Now she faces her
most dangerous challenge yet, at the hands of a ruthless serial killer
whose murderous motives have their roots in her past.
Schoolgirl Geneva Settle’s
research project into her slave ancestor Charles Singleton unearths more
than just an interesting story. Suddenly Geneva seems to be the target

way unless top criminalist Lincoln Rhyme can piece together the deadly
puzzle.
