The book was the third in the Bone Collector, Licoln Rhyme, series. It was good but way to many plot twist by the end you were sitting there thinking, not again this is old. It is alright if ya just need a quick read.

The review of this Book prepared by Jose Notario




Lincoln Rhyme, in North Carolina for surgery that might get him out of his wheelchair, becomes involved in solving a series of kidnappings. His high tech forensics skills are challenged by the lack of equipment and motivation of the locals. He and Amanda are at complete odds over these cases and the interplay between them as antoganists is wonderful!
The review of this Book prepared by Judy Mellin




Confined to his wheelchair Lincoln Rhyme and his companion/partner are fighting the clock to find a kidnapped girl and hunt down the "alleged" kidnapper/murderer! This latest installment has Amelia and Lincoln at odds with each other as Amelia breaks the suspect out of jail and heads out on a wild goose chase to find the "real killer". Good luck keeping up with this rollercoaster ride of a great mystery!
