Lincoln Rhyme was the department's top homicide detective and leading expert in criminal forensics until an injury left him paralyzed, depressed, and incapable of working. But when a gruesome murder in Manhattan leaves detectives baffled, they call on Rhyme to help solve the mystery. Amelia Donaghy, a rookie cop whose quick thinking preserved a gruesome murder scene, is enlisted by Rhyme to be his on-the-scene forensics expert. With Amelia reluctantly acting as Rhyme's able-bodied go-between, the pair piece together cryptic clues the killer leaves behind at the scene of the crime, hoping to catch the grisly serial killer.
A procedural dread built on immobility and dwindling clock. You track a methodical killer through subterranean New York, forced to feel each staged tableau before it resolves. The fear here is anticipatory and airless — victims left waiting, clues that promise horror, and a detective who can only watch as the countdown tightens.
