Description

“?YOU COULD SAY THAT IT TOOK FOREVER”

DEAVER, Jeffrey. The Cold Moon. New York: Simon & Schuster, (2006). Octavo, original half black cloth, original dust jacket.

First edition of Deaver’s seventh Lincoln Rhyme novel, signed by the author on the title page.

Deaver’s plot “is a beautiful piece of engineering, its intricate moving parts neatly packed and set to go off at precise intervals like a time-release bomb? The pyrotechnics of the murder plot are dazzling on their own terms, but? time itself is the subject of the story. In observing how a calamitous event like the destruction of the World Trade Center can establish new indexes of timekeeping (the ‘Before and After’ syndrome), Deaver argues that stopping time in its tracks is a madman’s ruse for stopping life itself” (New York Times). A fine signed copy.
