ⓘ About Jeffery Deaver
The Coffin Dancer is a story about a narcissistic serial killer that has unbelievably flown under the radar of the police for quite some time. The killer was employed to take care of three witnesses before they testify in front of the grand jury, for a case they obviously knew something that would help the prosecutor win the conviction. Officer Rhyme’s works to locate the identity of the serial killer, so that the case can go to trial and end in a conviction. Jeffery Deaver is a world renowned author and contributor to the literary world. His chilling and thrilling writing speaks for itself. The quality and clarity of his presentations are paramount and as some have been adapted to a cinematic experience.

? Frequently Asked Questions
Who is Jeffery Deaver?
The Coffin Dancer is a story about a narcissistic serial killer that has unbelievably flown under the radar of the police for quite some time. The killer was employed to take care of three witnesses before they testify in front of the grand jury, for a case they obviously knew something that would help the prosecutor win the conviction. Officer Rhyme’s works to locate the identity of the serial killer, so that the case can go to trial and end in a conviction.
Which Jeffery Deaver series should I start with?
The best place to start is the Rune series, the earliest of Jeffery Deaver's multi-book series: it opens with Manhattan Is My Beat (1988) and runs to 3 books across 1988–1991, ending with Hard News (1991). Jeffery Deaver's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
