Description
Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs return to New York City to investigate a triple murder and confront a killer terrorizing couples at their happiest--and most vulnerable in this explosive New York Times bestseller. In the early hours of a quiet, weekend morning in Manhattan's Diamond District, a brutal triple murder shocks the city. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs quickly take the case. Curiously, the killer has left behind a half-million dollars' worth of gems at the murder scene, a jewelry store on 47th street. As more crimes follow, it becomes clear that the killer's target is not gems, but engaged couples themselves. The Promisor vows to take the lives of men and women during their most precious moments--midway through the purchase of an engagement ring, after a meeting with a wedding planner, trying on the perfect gown for a day that will never come. The Promisor arrives silently, armed with knife or gun, and a time of bliss is transformed, in an instant, to one of horror. Soon the Promiser makes a dangerous mistake: leaving behind an innocent witness, Vimal Lahori, a talented young diamond cutter, who can help Rhyme and Sachs blow the lid off the case. They must track down Vimal before the killer can correct his fatal error. Then disaster strikes, threatening to tear apart the very fabric of the city--and providing the perfect cover for the killer to slip through the cracks.

Thomas Harris and Jeffery Deaver create frighteningly plausible criminals who manipulate both civilians and police with ease, primarily by understanding the mentalities that drive both. They combine strong characters (both good and evil) and fast-forward investigations with uncertain outcomes that keep readers in suspense. -- NoveList Contributor
Jeffery Deaver and James Patterson both write gripping suspense novels characterized by clever plot twists, memorable characters, menacing atmospheres, psychological overtones, and often nightmarish qualities. -- Kim Burton
Chris Mooney's stories include familiar thriller elements: a traumatized FBI profiler, a psychopath with novel methods, and high-tech details. His focus on the characters and their interactions, plot intricacy, and compressed time will please Jeffery Deaver's readers. -- Katherine Johnson
Both Ridley Pearson and Jeffery Deaver rely on forensic detail and a bleak tone to shape their stories. Personal dramas also feature prominently, as do relationships, especially within the department. -- Krista Biggs
Adam Hall and Jeffery Deaver excel at fast-paced, plot-driven detective or spy thrillers. Their adventures are dramatic, suspenseful, and violent. Protagonists' intelligence, stamina, and resourcefulness are always key. Deaver's stories can be more intricately plotted, yet both authors maintain momentum by focusing on solving the case or completing the espionage. -- Matthew Ransom
Mick Herron and Jeffery Deaver's suspense and mystery stories are known for their twisty plots and complex characters. Both take the time to help the reader get to know their characters' psychology and motivations, and put acidic and witty dialogue in their mouths. Deaver tends more towards violence than Herron. -- Melissa Gray
April Henry and Jeffery Deaver are accomplished masters of suspense. Their thrillers combine intriguing characters with intricate plots and electrifying mysteries. Deaver's work, however, contains more overt violence than Henry's. -- Mike Nilsson
Jeffery Deaver also writes as William Jefferies. Readers who have tried the author's work under one name will want to try the other's books. -- Krista Biggs
Jeffery Deaver and Thomas Perry are often compared for the depth of their characterizations, the complexity of their plots, and the sheer excitement of the chases. -- Katherine Johnson
Both Ian Fleming and Jeffery Deaver create dramatic spy and detective thrillers that are fast-paced and plot-driven. Each balances violence and cunning for gritty and suspenseful adventures where heroes must be tough and intelligent to take on various foes. Deaver can be more intricately plotted while Fleming is steamier. -- Matthew Ransom
John Katzenback and Jeffery Deaver's fast-paced, suspenseful, and violent crime thrillers share compelling psychological themes. Not just about disturbing events, their novels also explore the minds and emotions of victims, villains, and protagonists. Their protagonists are often flawed and have more to overcome than solving the mystery or catching the villain. -- Matthew Ransom
These authors' works have the appeal factors violent and gritty, and they have the genre "thrillers and suspense"; and the subjects "serial murderers," "police," and "detectives."
