Synopsis
Ex-NYPD detective Lincoln Rhyme is at the end of his rope. A terrible accident ended his career and left him a quadriplegic. He's on the verge of committing suicide when his old colleague, Lon Sellitto, tells him of a serial killer in New York who picks up his victims in a taxi, then takes them on a terrifying ride of torture and murder. The killer is in a battle of wits with the cops; he leaves just enough clues for them to find the next victim, if they're smart enough to decipher his code. Lon convinces Lincoln that he is the only one who can track down this murderer. With officer Amelia Sachs acting as his eyes and ears, Rhyme goes to work on this baffling case.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "She wanted only to sleep. The plane had touched down two hours late and there'd been a marathon wait for the luggage. And then the car service had messed up; the limo'd left an hour ago. So now they were waiting for a cab."
Industry Reviews
"Stylish, scary, and superb."
Book jacket - Tami Hoag
"Exciting, fast-paced, and sneaky."
Book jacket - Peter Straub
"...Deaver makes it work, largely by creating a deliciously complicated protagonist and a plot that's suspenseful without becoming unnecessarily gruesome."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Michael Berry (03/02/1997)
"The technology in Jeffrey Deaver's new thriller, 'The Bone Collector'..., is so dazzling it makes your eyes water."
New York Times Book Review - Marilyn Stasio (03/16/1997)
"This breakneck thrill-ride reads like a movie, but there's some admirable writing in between its Grand Guginol excesses, which include flesh-carvings, rodent attacks and death by dentition."
Wall Street Journal - Tom Nolan (03/28/1997)
"Deaver marries forensic work that would do Patricia Cornwell proud to a turbocharged plot that puts Benzedrine to shame."
