Geneva Settle is a bright young high school student from Harlem writing a paper about one of her ancestors, a former slave called Charles Singleton. Geneva is also the target of a ruthless professional killer. Criminalist Lincoln Rhyme and his policewoman partner Amelia Sachs are called into the case, working frantically to anticipate where the hired gun will strike next and how to stop him, all the while trying to get to the truth of Charles Singleton, and the reason that Geneva has been targeted. For Charles Singleton had a secret – a secret that may strike at the very heart of the United States constitution, and have disastrous consequences for human rights today. And Sachs is going to have to search a crime scene that’s 140 years old before she can stop the killer.

This was fine....until it went on forever. So many people wanted to kill Geneva! SO MANY. When the first guy is stopped I thought, “there's so many more pages to go!” and then the next and the next. I did really love how Rhyme took to Geneva. It is the first time you get to really see that there is a caring side to him!
