Synopsis
A couple is kidnapped right outside JFK airport and one of the bodies is found with clues that point to more murders to come. Lincoln Rhyme, a quadraplegic forensic specialist -- the best in the business -- is brought out of retirement to help solve these gruesome crimes and find the madman who's committing them. This is one of the best crime/mystery books I've ever read, with lots of excitement, incredible plot twists and tension. Plus lots of interesting forensics procedure that has the "feel" of accuracy. Plus characters who, for a change, are complicated and act like real human beings, with all of their flaws. This is a must read. It will scare you to the bone.

Lincoln Rhyme is a crusty personality, a complicated character with annoying flaws and a serious disability (he's a quad) that he hasn't really come to terms with yet. Most of the other characters are also richly drawn. Part romance, part suspense and with a complex and insane killer, this is a great read for anyone who loves thrillers.
