Clockmaker
In the light of the Cold Moon, casualties are increasing. A killer as coldly precise as a clockwork...
No time to waste! Death walks through New York in December, leaving a strange calling card next to the bodies of the brutally murdered: an old-fashioned clock with a full moon face. The investigation of the twisted crimes is taken up by the notorious wheelchair-bound criminalist Lincoln Rhyme. He and his team soon realise that the mysterious Clockmaker is not just another madman, but an extremely intelligent, resourceful criminal with a clear vision and a well thought-out plan. A dramatic match between two brilliant minds unfolds, full of devious moves and unexpected twists, in which the audience is introduced for the first time to the most compelling criminal Rhyme has ever faced.
The seventh installment of a thrilling detective series in which a brilliant paraplegic is first crossed by his nemesis: serial killer Gerald Duncan, nicknamed the Clockmaker.
