NYPD criminalist Lincoln Rhyme joins his brilliant protégé Amelia Sachs, in the hunt for the Coffin Dancer--an ingenious killer who changes his appearance even faster than he adds to his trail of victims. They have only one clue: the madman has a tattoo of the Grim Reaper waltzing with a woman in the front of a coffin. Rhyme must rely on his wits and intuition to track the elusive murderer through New York City--knowing they have only forty-eight hours before the Coffin Dancer strikes again.

Coffin Dancer is a "heart-stopping" (Booklist) thriller from #1 international bestselling author Jeffery Deaver's "simply outstanding" (San Jose Mercury News) Lincoln Rhyme series.
