Unlocking a cold case with explosive implications for the future of civil rights, forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme and his protegee, Amelia Sachs, must outguess a killer who has targeted a high school girl from Harlem who is diggin into the past of one of her ancestors, a former slave. What buried secrets from 140 years ago could have an assassin out for innocent blood? And what chilling message ishidden in his calling card, the hanged man of the tarot deck? Rhyme must anticipate the next strike or become history-in the bestseller that proves "there is no thriller writer today like Jeffery Deaver".

Reading Deaver's books, one realizes what a talent he has for creating such intelligent plots and making his stories quite believable. This story never loses steam as it runs headlong down the tracks.
