Lincoln Rhyme, ex-head of NYPD forensics, was the nation's
foremost criminalist, the man who could work a crime scene
and come away with a perfect profile of the killer, frozen
in time. Now, Lincoln is frozen in place — permanently. An
accident on the job left him a quadriplegic who can move
just one finger, a great mind strapped to his bed, mulish
and sarcastic, hiding from a life he no longer wants to
live.
Until he sees the crime-scene report about a corpse found
buried on a deserted West Side railroad track, its bloody
hand rising from the dirt. It belonged to a man who got
into a cab at the airport and never got out. Reluctantly,
Lincoln Rhyme abandons retirement to track down a killer
whose ingenious clues hold the secret to saving his
victims — if Rhyme can decipher them in time. The search
leads him to the Bone Collector, whose obsession with old
New York colors every scrap of evidence he leaves for
Rhyme and his new partner, Amelia Sachs, whom he drafts as
his arms and legs. But she's never worked a crime scene in
her life — and he can only whisper in her ear as she does
the exacting work he loved more than anything else.
