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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Jeffery Deaver’s grisly and compelling mystery series featuring quadriplegic detective Lincoln Rhyme kicks off with a bloody bang. The Bone Collector pits Lincoln and his partner, NYPD cop Amelia Sachs, against a demonic cabdriver with a taste for gruesome murder. Deaver is a master of just-pulpy-enough plots and zippy dialogue; in their first case together, Lincoln and Amelia make a memorable pair of crime fighters who upend all the tired Sherlock-and-Watson clichés. After you read the book, watch the deliciously creepy adaptation starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.

I certainly liked this book. It is my first but not my last to read in this series. I gave it a 4 star rating, to leave some room for any coming improvement.
A bone-crushing thrill of a ride.
Excellent read. Brilliant and riveting. I was left wanting more. On to the next book.
Classic intro
Can’t believe it took me this long to get around to this pleasure
