The Twelfth Card
An incident that occurred 140 years ago has deadly implications for a present-day Harlem teenager in the sixth Lincoln Rhyme mystery. Early one Tuesday morning, high-schooler Geneva Settle studies at the Museum of African-American Culture and History, working on a term paper concerning the history of one of her ancestors, Charles Singleton, a former slave accused of burglary. When she is viciously assaulted, the NYPD initially assume that the motive was rape. But as the mystery attacker continues to threaten Geneva, Detectives Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs discover more and more connections between the current crime and Singleton's long-ago arrest.

But the apparent suicide of her younger brother, Danny, brings her back to Destiny, her father, and her brother Chris, and introduces her to Beck Merchant, her father's lawyer, a good-looking man with a secret. It's not long before Sayre learns that Danny was actually murdered, and she then feels impelled to remain in town to discover the truth behind Danny's death and her father's corrupt business practices.
