IT is clearly entangled with the plot which has surprises and puzzles. Character development IS well done. ( ) This 13 hour book would have been really tight at about half that length. I thought the "patter" excessive. On the plus side, the Conjurer showed us many magic tricks; on the minus side, the Conjurer showed us too many magic tricks -- I lost count. The characters are all quite good and Sachs develops nicely in this one. no reviews | add a review

It begins at a prestigious music school in New York City. A killer flees the scene of a homicide and locks himself in a classroom. Within minutes, the police have him surrounded. When a scream rings out, followed by a gunshot, they break down the the door. The room is empty. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are brought in to help with the high-profile investigation. For the ambitious Sachs, solving the case could earn her a promotion. For the quadriplegic Rhyme, it means relying on his protege to ferret out a master illusionist they've dubbed "the conjurer," who baits them with gruesome murders that become more diabolical with each fresh crime crime. As the fatalities rise and the minutes tick down, Rhyme and Sachs must move beyond the smoke and mirrors to prevent a terrifying act of vengeance that could become the greatest vanishing act of all.
