Book Description
It's New Year's Eve, December 31, 1999, and Washington,
D.C., is under siege. Early in the day, a grisly machine gun
attack in the Dupont Circle Metro station leaves dozens dead
and the city crippled with fear. A note delivered to the
mayor's office pins the massacre on the Digger, a robotlike
assassin programmed to wreak havoc on the capital every four
hours -- until midnight. Only a ransom of $20 million
delivered to the Digger's accomplice -- and mastermind --
will end the death and terror. But the Digger becomes a far
more sinister threat when his accomplice is killed in a freak
accident while en route to the money drop. With the ransom
note as the single scrap of evidence, Special Agent Margaret
Lukas calls upon Parker Kincaid, a retired FBI agent and the
top forensic document examiner in the country. Somehow, by
midnight, they must find the Digger -- before he finds them.
In The Devil's Teardrop, Jeffery Deaver delivers
the same intricate forensic detail, masterful plot twists and
harrowing breakneck pace that made A Maiden's Grave, The
Bone Collector and The Coffin Dancer national
bestsellers. The Devil's Teardrop is destined to
continue Jeffery Deaver's bestselling track record and thrill
his legions of fans worldwide.
