Profesionální nájemný vrah zvaný Tanečník se chystá během pětačtyřiceti hodin zlikvidovat tři nepohodlné svědky v případu vlivného obchodníka se zbraněmi. Dokáže mu v tom zabránit ochrnutý detektiv Lincoln Rhyme a jeho pomocnice Amélie Sachsová, s jejichž důvtipem a inteligencí si chladnokrevný zabiják rozhodně nezadá?

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. Sběratel kostí je tak i léta po svém napsání jedním z nejlepších thrillerů, na jaké můžete v knihkupectvích narazit.“ – Boris Hokr, Knihožrout.cz

The Sleeping Lord - David Jones

‘The Sleeping Lord is perhaps the best introductory volume to Jones’s work; the contours can be seen most clearly here, and the textures, though rich, are less elaborate than in The Anathemata, since there is an open, dramatic quality running through the book.’ Peter Scupham, New StatesmanPublished months before David Jones’s death in 1974, and modestly presented by the author himself as a collection of ‘fragments’, The Sleeping Lord continued the exploration of themes begun by its predecessors In Parenthesis and The Anathemata. Set mainly in different parts of the Roman Empire, either in the Holy Land or on the Celtic fringes, animated by his Catholic faith and by his own experiences as a soldier, formidably erudite and of a visionary intensity, the book springs from a lifetime’s concern with questions of history, culture and religion. Mysterious, musical and alive with a sense of the wilderness and the elements, the poems show the startling development of Jones’s imagination in his later years.
