Synopsis

It was a "million-dollar bullet," a sniper shot delivered from over a mile away. Its victim was no ordinary mark: he was a United States citizen, targeted by the United States government, and assassinated in the Bahamas.
The nation's most renowned investigator and forensics expert, Lincoln Rhyme, is drafted to investigate. While his partner, Amelia Sachs, traces the victim's steps in Manhattan, Rhyme leaves the city to pursue the sniper himself. As details of the case start to emerge, the pair discovers that not all is what it seems.
When a deadly, knife-wielding assassin begins systematically eliminating all evidence--including the witnesses--Lincoln's investigation turns into a chilling battle of wits against a cold-blooded killer.

Goodreads review by Valeriu on February 05, 2022

Dacă vă cade în mînă acest thriller (dar numai dacă vă cade), e bine să-l lăsați să cadă mai departe. Traducerea e infernal de proastă. Nu știu ce înseamnă Graal Soft (poate e un program de traducere, ca Google translate, poate e numele unui grup de tălmăcitori isteți, habar n-am), dar traduce extre......more

Goodreads review by Barbara on November 05, 2021

In this 10th book in the 'Lincoln Rhyme' series, the quadriplegic forensic scientist is on the trail of a sadistic killer. The book can be read as a standalone. ***** The head of the National Intelligence and Operations Service (NIOS) in New York commissions the assassination of Robert Moreno, a suspe......more

Goodreads review by Jamie Cane on August 04, 2013

okay first let me say that I am a huge Deaver fan ....love his writing but this clunker stands out as his weakest to date. Everyone is entitled to their opinions but come on sheeple this is not a great book far from it. 4 star and 5 star reviews for this are ludicruous. Boring boring boring where do......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on November 11, 2016

There was a time I though Deaver the most reliable of all mystery writers. Most of the Lincoln Rhyme series, the Rune and Pelham books and many of his stand alone novels offered up plausible but surprising stories. There were twists a plenty and unusually resourceful criminals abounded. A joy! But o......more

Goodreads review by Jeff on June 21, 2021

A Good entry into the Rhyme series as Lincoln and Amelia investigate a murder in the Bahamas. As usual good investigation wins out. There are just a few too many obligatory plot "surprises" that do detract from the overall feel of the book. A good new character is introduced in the person of Nance L......more

Quotes

"Not even the brilliant Rhyme can foresee the shocking twists the case will take in this electrically charged thriller."—Publishers Weekly, (Starred Review) on The Burning Wire

"A taut psychological thriller from a masterful crime writer, proving Deaver just gets better with each new novel."—June 2010 Indie Next List Great Reads list on The Burning Wire

"This eighth novel featuring quadriplegic forensic expert Lincoln Rhyme is one of Deaver's best...Deaver has outdone himself."—The Globe and Mail on The Broken Window

"Deaver's scarily believable depiction of identity theft in a total-surveillance society stokes our paranoia. A -."—Entertainment Weekly on The Broken Window

"One of the most unnerving of Deaver's eight novels featuring his quadriplegic forensic detective, Lincoln Rhyme."—New York Times on The Broken Window

"Rhyme is one of the mystery genre's most interesting and out-of-the-ordinary series leads...As always, Deaver's dialogue is exceptionally realistic, and his plotting is devilishly intricate. Recommended for fans of the Rhyme novels (naturally) and readers who like their thrillers laced with wit and sharp characterizations."—Booklist on The Broken Window
