Forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme, along with his protegee, Amelia Sachs, has been recruited by the FBI to capture "the Ghost"--a homicidal immigrant smuggler. But, when they corner him aboard a cargo ship headed for New York, the bust goes disastrously wrong and the Ghost escapes. Now, he must eliminate the only witnesses to his crimes--two families who jumped ship and vanished in the Chinatown underground. Against a brilliant and ruthless adversary, Lincoln and Amelia race to find the families before the Ghost can silence them forever...Packed with shocking plot twists, breakneck pacing, and heartbreakingly real characters, "The Stone Monkey" reminds us once again why "People" hailed Jeffery Deaver as "the master of ticking-bomb suspense."
