Jeffrey Deaver knows how to hook readers and keep them guessing with suspenseful, twisty plots. This early Deaver effort, originally published in 1988, will not disappoint fans dazzled by his subsequent, high-profile Lincoln Rhyme series (The Bone Collector, The Coffin Dancer, The Empty Chair.)Manhattan Is My Beat takes its name from the (invented) 1947 film noir watched obsessively by murder victim Robert Kelly. Our heroine, Rune, (a punk with a heart of gold) works for Washington Square Video. On a routine pickup to retrieve Manhattan Is My Beat, she discovers Kelly just shot dead, the target of a professional hit. Rune and a woman jogger glimpse the presumed killer as he speeds off in a green car. While cops drag their heels in solving the mystery, Rune takes matters into her own hands, convinced that the motive for the murder is a missing suitcase stuffed with one million dollars--the subject, not coincidentally, of the film that Kelly and Rune both admired. An avid fan of fantasy novels and prone to see life through the prism of magic and quests, Rune takes up the challenge of finding the lost money and catching Kelly s killers. But the formidable hit team is intent upon destroying both possible witnesses to the murder, and their nimble crosses and double-crosses--some of which the reader sees, some of which are revealed at the end--make for fun reading.Plotting moves briskly in this novel, except for a slowdown in the story--Rune s ambiguous romance with downtown poseur Richard has little to do with catching killers. The conclusion, while neatly wrapped, is marred by the sudden appearance of a crucial detail that Deaver produces like a fancy dish under the waiter s silver dome. But the gimmick to offset the conclusion s predictability feels like a cheat rather than a revelation. All in all, however, the novel is excellent mind candy, a thrilling romp lead by an agile, street-smart heroine. Deaver writes with clarity, compassion, and intelligence, and with a decidedly human and contemporary slant -- -- Publishers Weekly

Audiokniha: Vraha, co se nedá chytit, odhalí jedině detektiv, který se nemůže hýbat. Newyorské bezpečnostní složky jsou v pohotovosti kvůli konferenci OSN, situaci však zkomplikuje nález těla bizarně zavražděného muže. Pod tlakem okolností požádá policie o pomoc bývalého detektiva Lincolna Rhymea, jenž je po úrazu však ochrnutý a upoutaný na lůžko. Aby se mohl pustit po stopě zabijáka, který své zohavené oběti pohřbívá typicky morbidním způsobem a záměrně zanechává drobné stopy, spojí se s mladou pochůzkářkou Amélií, která se tak stává jeho „rukama a nohama“. Jak přibývá umučených obětí, vynořují se z nově zjištěných informací obrysy dávných hrůz. „První případ Lincolna Rhymea je malý klenot, vyvolávající maximální napětí. Deaver neplýtvá slovy; kniha je stručná, ale především sevřená. Je jako dobře připravený sportovec: vše je naladěné na optimální výkon, aniž by to sklouzávalo k samoúčelnosti.

Zámečník chodí na návštěvy zásadně bez ohlášení, ale žádný strach. Odemkne si sám! Po nevydařeném soudním procesu je proslulý vyšetřovatel Lincoln Rhyme donucen ukončit spolupráci s newyorskou policií. Ani hrozící kriminál však neohroženého kvadruplegika neodradí od snahy dopadnout zločince přezdívaného Zámečník, jehož noční dostaveníčka s nic netušícími oběťmi připravují obyvatele města o klidný spánek. Tajemný muž, kterému neodolá žádný bezpečnostní mechanismus ani alarm, za sebou nezanechává velké škody, natož mrtvoly. Vybrané nešťastníky prozatím okrádá jen o pocit bezpečí, nicméně to se může brzy změnit. A tak Rhyma a jeho kolegy v čele s nepostradatelnou Amélií Sachsovou čeká závod s časem: protivníkem jim bude perfekcionista plánující několik tahů dopředu a v mnohém připomínající kriminalistova úhlavního nepřítele, obávaného Hodináře… Patnáctý díl úspěšné série detektivních románů nabízí další napínavý kriminální případ pod geniální taktovkou Lincolna Rhyma. „Skutečnost, že Rhyme a Sachsová se musejí obejít bez pomoci policie, s níž mají zakázáno spolupracovat, ještě podtrhuje dusno, které příběh provází až do poslední stránky.“ – The Book Reporter. „Pokud od Jefferyho Deavera očekáváte napětí, pečlivou laboratorní práci a zdatné, i když trochu svérázné detektivy, dostane se vám všeho dostatek.“ – centrum-detektivky.cz. „Poznávacím znamením [Deaverových knih] jsou neskutečné zvraty a překvapivá odhalení, protože v jeho knihách nikdy nic není takové, jak se na první pohled zdá. A v Nočním návštěvníkovi to autor dotáhl k dokonalosti, protože každý zvrat ještě postaví vzhůru nohama a následně obrátí naruby.“ – databazeknih.cz. „Kdo chce překonat zámek, musí přechytračit výrobce i zámek samotný. Musí být jako šachista. A musí tohle všechno zvládat pod tlakem tikajících hodin. Ten váš kluk je inteligentní a šikovný zároveň. To je u člověka, který provádí takové věci, hodně špatná kombinace. Takže jestli vám můžu radit, vyčleňte na něj dost prostředků. Najděte ho. A najděte ho rychle. Jinak z toho kouká pěkný průser. – ukázka z textu.
