Synopsis

Jeffery Deaver, "the master of manipulation" (Associated Press) and "the most creative, skilled and intriguing thriller writer in the world." (Daily Telegraph, UK) returns with the new, long-awaited, Kathryn Dance thriller.

A tragedy occurs at a small concert venue on the Monterey Peninsula. Cries of "fire" are raised and, panicked, people run for the doors, only to find them blocked. A half dozen people die and others are seriously injured. But it's the panic and the stampede that killed them; there was no fire.

Kathryn Dance--a brilliant California Bureau of Investigation agent and body language expert--discovers that the stampede was caused intentionally and that the perpetrator, a man obsessed with turning people's own fears and greed into weapons, has more attacks planned. She and her team must race against the clock to find where he will strike next before more innocents die.

About Jeffery Deaver

Chicago born author, Jeffery Deaver, has been richly rewarded for his successful career as a an American mystery/crime writer, including being a three-time Ellery Queen Reader's Award winner, and several different newspaper best of lists around the world.

Lincoln Rhyme, a quadriplegic detective is the main character in his most popular series of novels, such as The Broken Window. His time spent practicing law before he embarked on his writing career definitely gave him greater insight into the cases about which he writes.

He was writing about criminal hackers in his 2001 book, The Blue Nowhere. He also established a computer crime unit within the pages of the book. Several of his novels have been adapted for tv and movies. The most popular among them would be The Bone Collector, starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.

Deaver was chosen to write an official James Bond novel, Carter Blanche, published on May 25, 2011, making him the second American author to participate in the series.

Its about 15 Deaver-like plotting, but 65 of it deals with relationships as if the author was writing a TV movie for Lifetime. And the writing is almost maudlin at times, not up to his level at all. Very disappointing.

Goodreads review by Alex on November 20, 2019

I don’t enjoy books that SHOUT at me. This one opens with a mom and daughter attending a gig at the roadhouse in Solitude Creek on the Monterey Peninsula, where the audience at a music venue are trapped between a non-existent fire and emergency doors blocked by a haulage truck. Next we switch to an......more

Goodreads review by Gary on May 14, 2015

The 4th book in the Kathryn Dance series by author Jeffery Deaver. I enjoy reading Jeffery Deaver books and in particular the Lincoln Rhyme and Kathryn Dance series so I was a little surprised and disappointed that I only rated this book a solid 3 star rating. Admittedly the lower rating is more due......more

Goodreads review by Monnie on May 23, 2015

This is Deaver's fourth novel featuring Kathryn Dance, a California Bureau of Investigation agent and kinesics expert, but only the second I've read (with the exception of her initial appearance as a consultant in Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme/Amelia Sachs novel Cold Moon). I wish Dance were a more appeali......more

Goodreads review by Linda on November 22, 2015

Seems I'm been waiting for this one forever. I've followed this particular series of Deaver's for several years. And while I have extremely enjoyed the series, this one seems to be a little short of the snap, crackle, pop that the previous books had. There are multiple plots that begin solitarily and......more
