A dazzlingly clever Lincoln Rhyme thriller where illusion and murder blur the line between reality and deception.
 
When a killer strikes in a locked room and vanishes into thin air, forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme and his partner Amelia Sachs are called to investigate. What they uncover is unlike anything they’ve seen before—a criminal mastermind using the art of magic and illusion to commit untraceable crimes. As Rhyme and Sachs race to predict his next act, they find themselves caught in a deadly game where seeing isn’t believing.
 
In The Vanished Man, Jeffery Deaver delivers one of his most intricately plotted and suspenseful Lincoln Rhyme novels to date. Blending crime, psychology, and performance art, Deaver weaves a mystery that feels both cerebral and cinematic.
When an illusionist-turned-killer begins staging murders inspired by the tricks of his trade, Rhyme must match wits with a foe who manipulates perception as easily as evidence. With tension building to a breathtaking finale, this novel showcases Deaver’s talent for sharp twists, meticulous detail, and mind-bending puzzles.
 
A masterclass in plotting and psychological tension, The Vanished Man is both an ingenious procedural and a fascinating exploration of the boundaries between logic, belief, and illusion.
