This follow-up to Jeffery Deaver's massive bestseller The Bone Collector (also a feature film starring Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington) is a "simply outstanding" (San Jose Mercury News) addition to the Lincoln Rhyme series.
Recruited to help the FBI and the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs manage to track down a cargo ship headed for New York City carrying two dozen illegal Chinese immigrants, as well as the notorious human smuggler and killer known as "the Ghost." But when the Ghost's capture goes disastrously wrong, Lincoln and Amelia find themselves in a race to track him down before he can find and murder the two surviving families from the ship, who have vanished into the labyrinth of New York City's Chinese community. As Rhyme struggles to locate the families, aided by a quirky policeman from mainland China, Sachs finds herself forming a connection with one of the immigrants that may affect her relationship with her partner and lover.

There is a lot of excitement in this audio, most of it generated by the reader--not the writer. It's almost as if Dufris knows the story is one of Deaver's more mundane offerings and is trying to compensate. Criminologist Lincoln Rhyme and his sidekick, Amelia Sachs, are back--this time to snare "The Ghost," who smuggles illegal Chinese immigrants into the U.S. On top of that, he's a merciless, stone-cold killer, dispatching his victims with a single bullet to the head. Dufris not only cranks up the excitement, he really works at the many foreign accents he is called upon to read. His performance alone makes this audio offering worthwhile. A.L.H.

Evenly and methodically, Boyd Gaines narrates the details of an active investigation and the latest technology used by Lincoln Rhyme and crew to solve crimes. A ruthless human smuggler, "Ghost," is responsible for the sinking of the FUZHOU DRAGON, a ship carrying illegal Chinese immigrants. He wants no trace of them left. But when they escape, the deadly chase begins. Listeners soon find themselves "walking the grid" or "lifting latent prints" with Amelia Sachs and her colleagues from the NYPD. Gaines is especially good at speaking with a Chinese accent and easily characterizes the immigrants. Narrated thoughtfully, the pace helps the listener visualize the careful musings of Rhyme. A nice addition to the series. D.L.M. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
