The Kill Room

Lincoln Rhyme, Book 10

By: Jeffery Deaver

Narrated by: Kerry Shale

The 10th novel in the critically acclaimed Lincoln Rhyme series, from number-one best-selling author Jeffery Deaver.

They are calling it the 'million-dollar bullet': a sniper shot from a near-impossible distance. But there is no crime-scene investigation, no evidence, and no co-operation from the local Bahamian police. Ambitious New York district attorney Nance Laurel won't let it go. This murder has all the hallmarks of a contract killing, and she has evidence that the order came from the highest levels of the US government.

Putting her career on the line, she calls in independent investigators: Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs. No strangers to controversy, their reputation for seeing what others miss is unparalleled, and she knows they will risk everything - even their lives - to seek the truth.

Critic reviews

"Jeffery Deaver is something of a summer tradition for thriller fans, and a Lincoln Rhyme novel makes for a bumper year.... Deaver's pacy prose is addictive enough to result in dreadful sunburn if read on the beach, so approach with caution." ( Independent on Sunday)

Another outstanding Lincoln Rhyme thriller

What did you love best about The Kill Room?

This is Jeffrey Deaver at his best, a really rivetting story with no boring bits.

What does Kerry Shale bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The ability to do the gardening, the washing and go to the gym without having to put it down.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Rhyme and Sachs are such a cute couple.
