From the #1 international bestselling author of The Bone Collector and The Devil's Teardrop comes this spine-chilling thriller that pits renowned criminalist Lincoln Rhyme against the ultimate opponentâ??Amelia Sachs, his own brilliant protĂ©gĂ©e.
A quadriplegic since a beam crushed his spinal cord years ago, Lincoln Rhyme is desperate to improve his condition and goes to the University of North Carolina Medical Center for high-risk experimental surgery. But he and Sachs have hardly settled in when the local authorities come calling. In a twenty-four-hour period, the sleepy Southern outpost of Tanner's Corner has seen a local teen murdered and two young women abducted. And Rhyme and Sachs are the best chance to find the girls alive.

The prime suspect is a peculiar teenaged truant known as the Insect Boy, so nicknamed for his disturbing obsession with bugs. Rhyme's unsurpassed analytical skills and stellar forensic experience, combined with Sachs's exceptional detective legwork, soon snare the perp. But even Rhyme can't anticipate that Sachs will disagree with his crime analysis and that her vehemence will put her in the swampland, harboring the very suspect whom Rhyme considers a ruthless killer. So ensues Rhyme's greatest challengeâ??facing the criminalist whom he has taught everything he knows in a battle of wits, forensics, and intuition.

Lekker boek, wat me iets meer boeide dan Wespenval. Ik had wel iets met de chinese agent die erin voorkwam. ( )

I have had this battered Paperback in my to be read pile for ages, and finally decided to read it. I was not disappointed an absolute quality mystery with plenty of surprises and twists along the way, some I guessed some I did not, with some real jaw dropping shockers. Well written with excellent characters, and a real feel for time and place, and educational insect wise.
Completely recommended. ( )

I've read a lot of the Lincoln Rhyme series, and I really enjoyed them all, but this one was perhaps my favorite. I never could have guessed how this one was going to turn out, even when I was very close to the end. Jeffery Deaver seems to love plot twists, and this one was as twisty as they come.

If you like suspenseful books, you should try some of these. They go fast, and sometimes that's a good thing. ( )

Gosh these are good. They’re so refreshingly honest in their directness. It’s not only great action with twists and turns but Sachs and Rhyme are interesting and I care about them. Masterful action telling. ( )
