The Vanished Man by Jeffery Deaver5/21/2023 The structure of the book is nicely formatted for audio, as the killer narrates his own "performances" as if he were a ringmaster announcing the latest trick, using phrases like, "And now, revered audience." Simultaneous release with the Simon & Schuster hardcover (Forecasts, Jan. Grupper's skill with gender and accents is marvelous. Grupper does a fine job of keeping the thriller on the rails, and his depiction of Malerick, a villainous master of disguise straight out of a comic book (he regularly disappears in a flash of light and smoke), is riveting. Rhyme, a quadriplegic forensic criminologist, seems to have met his match in his new foe, dubbed "The Conjurer" by the police, a master of sleight of hand, illusion and misdirection, much like Deaver himself. Deaver ( The Stone Monkey The Devil's Teardrop etc.) summons up a fifth tale in the Lincoln Rhyme series and loads it with his trademark twist and turns. A shot is fired and when the room is entered, it is empty. A girl is murdered, the killer is caught red-handed, then trapped in a sealed room with a hostage.
