With his Lincoln Rhyme novels, New York Times best-selling author Jeffery Deaver consistently satisfies fans' cravings for well-crafted thrillers. A standalone novel, Edge introduces Kessler, a D.C. cop relegated to working on the district's lowest-level cases. Amidst his myriad mundane investigations, Kessler is unwittingly getting close to a dangerous criminal conspiracy. Things are getting so hot that the mastermind has employed a "Lifter," someone who will go to any lengths necessary to stay one step ahead of his pursuers—and his prey.
