9,96 €
Dvanáctá karta connects an attack on young Geneva with the warning symbol of the Hanged Man. Rhyme and Sachs must uncover a professional killer's motive and next move, because surviving the first attack has not ended the danger.
High school student Geneva Settleová becomes the target of a professional killer in a Harlem museum. She survives the first attack, but the assailant leaves a clear message: the twelfth tarot card, the Hanged Man. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs must discover why someone wants to kill the girl and when the killer will strike again.

What is Dvanáctá karta about?
At first, the investigation offers no clear explanation for why Geneva was targeted. Rhyme begins examining her school project on her ancestor Charles Singleton, a formerly enslaved man who lived in the nineteenth century and was associated with the civil rights movement. The present-day attempted murder becomes linked to a case approximately 140 years old. Rhyme and Sachs have limited time to unravel the historical mystery, interpret the clues, and anticipate the professional killer's next attack.
