Jeffery Deaver Synopses: In The Empty Chair, Lincoln Rhyme must travel to North Carolina to undergo an experimental procedure. There he coincidentally meets up with the cousin of an NYPD colleague who is looking for him to help solve a murder and two kidnappings. The Insect Boy (as he is known) has kidnapped two women and killed someone who tried to stop him.
In The Lesson of Her Death, a coed’s body is found mutilated in a bed of muddied hyacinths. This brings Lt. Bill Corde into a muddle of school politics and bizarre sexual fantasies. As murders keep happening at the school, the community goes into an uproar about these cult killings.

Jeffery Deaver Reviews by Users:
Submitted by Ruby I picked up my first Jeffrey Deaver book at a thrift store; I picked it up randomly to send to a friend who is in need of books. I decided to read it first. My mind was blown to say the least. I loved his style of writing with all the twists and turns; I could not put it down! Not only did I keep the book, I went out and bought about 15 of his books because I enjoyed his book so much. I’m a huge fan and am looking forward to meeting him in June at a book signing for his new book! I highly recommend him to anyone who loves a great book!
Is there a follow up to the Skin Collector? The book left the end hanging with the theft of the Bone watch.
The Skin Collector – Rhyme #11 is missing.
Do the Lincoln rhyme series have to be read in order?
