New York City has been thrown into chaos by the assaults of the Bone Collector, a serial kidnapper and killer who gives the police a chance to save his victims from death by leaving obscure clues. Baffled, the cops turn to the one man with a chance of solving them - Lincoln Rhyme.
Left paralysed by a debilitating accident, ex NYPD cop Rhyme has to dig deep into the only world he has left - his astonishing mind - to have any hope of solving the case. With the help of a young police officer, Amelia Sachs, he starts to close in on the killer. But as he edges closer to the truth, the Bone Collector is closing in on Lincoln Rhyme himself.

This is the first book I've read by the author but I loved the movie version of The Bone Collector. The movie sticks pretty close to the book and I really enjoyed Lincoln Rhyme's first case. I might read some of the other books. I liked the fact there are snippets from the point of view of the serial killer which doesn't happen very often in these kinds of thrillers. I liked the way the relationship between Amelia and Lincoln develops. This is an excellent thriller.
