Resumen
On a freezing December night, with a full moon hovering in the black skies over New York City, two people are brutally murdered their deaths marked by eerie calling-cards: moon-faced clocks ticking away the victims last minutes on earth. Its clear that more murders are planned, and Lincoln Rhyme and his team have only hours to stop a cold, calculated killer they call the Watchmaker. An unlikely ally appears on the scene in the form of California Bureau of Investigation special agent Kathryn Dance, one of the nations leading experts in interrogation and body language. Despite Lincolns skepticism about witnesses, and her distrust of physical evidence, the two form a curious alliance in the heart-stopping quest to find the Watchmaker.<
