He uses his vast knowledge of forensic science and his keen analytical skills to piece together the puzzle of the murder. As the investigation progresses, Rhyme and his team discover that the killer is a highly skilled assassin who has been hired to take out a series of targets.

The characters are well-developed, and the plot is full of twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very end. One of the strengths of "The Cold Moon" is the way Deaver explores the theme of justice. Rhyme is a man who has dedicated his life to solving crimes and bringing criminals to justice, but he is also a man who has seen the system fail. He is forced to confront the question of whether it is ever just to take the law into one's own hands. Overall, "The Cold Moon" is a thrilling and thought-provoking novel that is sure to satisfy fans of crime fiction.
