Publisher Description

DON'T MISS THE NBC TELEVISION SERIES LINCOLN RHYME: HUNT FOR THE BONE COLLECTOR The first novel in the New York Times bestselling series featuring forensic detective Lincoln Rhyme—from the author of The Never Game. “Lightning-paced…a breakneck thrill ride.”—The Wall Street Journal Lincoln Rhyme was once a brilliant criminologist, a genius in the field of forensics—until an accident left him physically and emotionally shattered. But now a diabolical killer is challenging Rhyme to a terrifying and ingenious duel of wits. With police detective Amelia Sachs by his side, Rhyme must follow a labyrinth of clues that reaches back to a dark chapter in New York City’s past—and reach further into the darkness of the mind of a madman who won’t stop until he has stripped life down to the bone.  Includes the short story “A Perfect Plan” and a chapter from The Midnight Lock.

"Thought it was quite good, but a little grisly. I was able to eat and read the book at the same time, but some might find parts of it to be a difficult read, depending on squeamishness. I will keep him on my list, though, and read other Lincoln Rhyme books."

    " This was bloody marvelous, and yet not quite perfect, if you see what I mean. I think perhaps I was just a little uncomfortable with a quadriplegic hero. Then again, I am a bit of a hypochondriac. "

    " I enjoyed the characters. I did read the whole book. In retrospect, I would never see the movie after reading the book. The book was rather violent and graphic about murder and torture. So, that is why I thought 2 stars was a valid rating. It is just not the kind of book I enjoy. "
