Thriller readers can always count on getting extra value from Jeffery Deaver--strong plots, fascinating research, believable characters, and plenty of surprise endings. Like in The Terminator, the bad guys in The Devil's Teardrop just won't quit, and they create enough havoc in the last 50 pages to fill a whole new book.
Although Deaver's brilliant, wheelchair-bound forensic expert Lincoln Rhyme makes a guest appearance, the muscular scientist in charge here is Parker Kincaid--an expert in document analysis who'd much rather be checking the authenticity of letters from Thomas Jefferson than figuring out when a crazed shooter known as the Digger will strike again. But it's New Year's Eve, 1999, and the Digger has begun a reign of terror--promising to shoot into crowds in Washington, D.C., every four hours until he's paid $20 million. As Kincaid searches an odd ransom note for clues (and tries to maintain a low profile so that his vindictive ex-wife won't get custody of his young kids), we get to know the Digger better. He is a frighteningly invisible character with serious brain damage, who methodically obeys a set of instructions from an unknown handler. We also learn many amazing facts about paper, ink, and handwriting analysis, and watch as a relationship slowly and reluctantly develops between Kincaid and the FBI agent in charge. All this as the devious Deaver leads us down several garden paths overflowing with dead bodies

i really enjoyed this book. it's a great crime thriller. for me, what makes a good thriller is when you cant guess the end, and i didnt see this one coming at all. it's by the same author who wrote "the bone collector", and i dont think this book is quite as good, but it's not far off.
definitely recommended.

Well, a little over a year but I got it read! I really liked this one. The character of Parker Kincaid is great - a guy every girl would like to find. The mystery had some unexpected twists at the end too.

This isn't one of the usual Deaver series with the quadraplegic detective and his paramour, so I don't think I've read it yet. Thank you Danes, (and everyone else before you), for passing this on to me. :)
