Lincoln Rhyme is back, on the trail of a killer whose weapon of choice cripples New York City with fear.
The weapon is invisible and omnipresent. Without it, modern society grinds to a halt. It is electricity. The killer harnesses and steers huge arc flashes with voltage so high and heat so searing that steel melts and his victims are set afire.
When the first explosion occurs in broad daylight, reducing a city bus to a pile of molten, shrapnel-riddled metal, officials fear terrorism. Rhyme, a world-class forensic criminologist known for his successful apprehension of the most devious criminals, is immediately tapped for the investigation. Long a quadriplegic, he assembles NYPD detective Amelia Sachs and officer Ron Pulaski as his eyes, ears and legs on crime sites, and FBI agent Fred Dellray as his undercover man on the street. As the attacks continue across the city at a sickening pace, and terrifying demand letters begin appearing, the team works desperately against time and with maddeningly little forensic evidence to try to find the killer. Or is it killers . . . ?
Meanwhile, Rhyme is consulting on another high-profile investigation in Mexico with a most coveted quarry in his crosshairs: the hired killer known as the Watchmaker, one of the few criminals to have eluded Rhyme's net.
Juggling two massive investigations against a cruel ticking clock takes a toll on Rhyme's health. Soon Rhyme is fighting on yet another front-and his determination to work despite his physical limitations threatens to drive away his closest allies when he needs them most . . .

Jeffery Deaver gilt als einer der weltweit besten Autoren intelligenter psychologischer Thriller. Wie kaum ein anderer beherrscht der von seinen Fans und den Kritikern gleichermaßen geliebte Jeffery Deaver den schier unerträglichen Nervenkitzel, verführt mit falschen Fährten, überrascht mit blitzschnellen Wendungen und streut dem Leser auf seine unnachahmliche Art Sand in die Augen. Seit dem ersten großen Erfolg als Schriftsteller hat er sich aus seinem Beruf als Rechtsanwalt zurückgezogen und lebt nun abwechselnd in Virginia und Kalifornien. Seine Bücher, die in 25 Sprachen übersetzt werden und in 150 Ländern erscheinen, haben ihm bereits zahlreiche renommierte Auszeichnungen eingebracht. Die kongeniale Verfilmung seines Romans "Die Assistentin" unter dem Titel "Der Knochenjäger" (mit Denzel Washington und Angelina Jolie in den Hauptrollen) war weltweit ein sensationeller Kinoerfolg und hat dem faszinierenden Ermittler- und Liebespaar Lincoln Rhyme und Amelia Sachs eine riesige Fangemeinde erobert.
