From book cover: Forensic expert Lincoln Rhyme and his protegee Amelia Sachs are called in to work the high-profile investigation of a killer who seemingly disappeared into thin air just as police closed in. As the homicidal illusionist baits them with grisly murders that grow more diabolical with each victim, Rhyme and Sachs must go behind the smoke and mirrors to prevent a horrific act of vegeance that could become the greatest vanishing act of all...

I enjoyed this book so much that now I want to find the other Lincoln Rhyme books to read. There are plenty of twists in the plot that keep the reader guessing to the very end. It is a great book for those who enjoy thrillers.
