Our view
“The Stone Monkey” is a dark, intricate thriller that takes Jeffery Deaver’s quadriplegic detective Lincoln Rhyme into New York’s Chinatown. Rhyme and Amelia Sachs hunt a ruthless people smuggler, and the novel spends long stretches with the killer and his targets. Some readers miss the two leads in those chapters and struggle to keep track of a large cast with aliases, though the threads come together by the end.
