Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs return to New York City to
confront a killer terrorizing couples at their happiest--and
most vulnerable.
In the early hours of a quiet, weekend morning in
Manhattan's Diamond District, a brutal triple murder shocks
the city. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs quickly take the
case. Curiously, the killer has left behind a half-million
dollars' worth of gems at the murder scene, a jewelry store
on 47th street. As more crimes follow, it becomes clear that
the killer's target is not gems, but engaged couples themselves.
The Promisor vows to take the lives of men and women during
their most precious moments--midway through the purchase of
an engagement ring, after a meeting with a wedding planner,
trying on the perfect gown for a day that will never come.
The Promisor arrives silently, armed with knife or gun, and
a time of bliss is transformed, in an instant, to one of horror.
Soon the Promiser makes a dangerous mistake: leaving behind
an innocent witness, Vimal Lahori, a talented young diamond
cutter, who can help Rhyme and Sachs blow the lid off the
case. They must track down Vimal before the killer can
correct his fatal error. Then disaster strikes, threatening
to tear apart the very fabric of the city--and providing the
perfect cover for the killer to slip through the cracks.
