Well now...speechless are we?
With good reason!

Where do we BEGIN to dissect that list of awesome talent?  I mean you can practically feel the thrills that are to come even before cracking the spine or scanning the first page!  I, myself, am most interested in discovering how the Lincoln Rhyme vs Lucas Davenport pairing turns out and really, you gotta love that title....Rhymes with Prey.  Fans get the joke, non-fans...it's a pairing of the lead character and the series the other stars in. I've read most titles in BOTH series and find both author's writing to be very engaging.  Who do I think will come out on top?  Umm, well....Lincoln Rhyme is awesome at taking a scene apart to its very core and uncovering things most would miss from those abstract clues left behind.  Then again, Lucas Davenport has a gut instinct like no other, will defend those he cares about to the end, and packs some serious muscle both brain-wise and brawn-wise.  

Gee...guess it's anybody's guess, until the read through that is.  Oh yes....there will be reading and sharing of this title further in the near future, but for now, I invite YOU to check it out for yourself and share YOUR favorite pairings both in theory and after the read!
