THE VANISHED MAN takes place over the course of two days. It begins with a rapid series of seemingly unrelated murders by a mastermind who comes to be known as The Conjurer, he commits the murder and vanishes. Lincoln Rhyme, the brilliant New York criminologist, is brought in as a consultant and Amelia Sachs is of course there with him, functioning as his legs and eyes at the crime scene, doing what he cannot.

Rhyme deduces fairly rapidly that they are dealing with someone who has a background in magic. Happenstance results in an apprentice illusionist, who goes by the stage name of "Kara," being brought onto the team as a consultant. Rhyme arrives at a conclusion regarding the identity of the vanished man, but his motive remains a mystery. Is it vengeance? Is it murder-for-hire? Or is it something so diabolical that the team can't imagine it? All that Rhyme and Sachs know for certain is that they are all too quickly running out of time.
