The hero of Jeffery Deaver's thriller The Bone Collector is Lincoln Rhyme, a forensic scientist known to his peers as "the world's foremost criminalist". Rhyme will need all his reason--and his considerable stock of high-tech tools--about him to solve this latest brain-twister: a serial killer with method to his madness. In tried and true thriller fashion, the killer's crimes are described in lurid detail, as is the astounding technological equipment with which Rhyme examines the evidence--everything from an energy-dispersive x-ray unit to a mass spectrometer.Every fictional detective has his or her gimmick, from Sherlock Holmes's violin to Nero Wolf's orchids, and Rhyme is no exception. He is a quadriplegic who can move nothing but a single finger. Gadget-philes will be in seventh heaven reading about Lincoln Rhyme's tools; other readers might feel the book could do with a few more plausible characters and a little less technology. --Amazon.com

Geniálny detektív Lincoln Rhyme prichádza na riskantnú operáciu do mestečka v Severnej Karolíne. No sotva sa ubytuje, ospanlivú vidiecku atmosféru naruší vražda chlapca a únos dvoch dievčat. Hlavným podozrivým je miestny tínedžer, ktorého pre jeho posadnutosť hmyzom prezývajú Hmyziak. Lincoln usmerňuje pátranie svojimi neprekonateľným analytickým umom a jeho asistentka Amelia Sachsová hľadá dôkazový materiál v teréne. Lincoln však nepredpokladá, že v tomto prípade nebude Amelia súhlasiť s jeho analýzou zločinu a vyberie sa do močarín po stope podozrivého. A tak proti Lincolnovi stojí jeho najväčší vyzývateľ – kriminalistka, ktorú naučil všetko, čo sám vedel, a ktorá sa ho snaží prekonať dôvtipom, predvídavosťou a intuíciou.
