Their first case, their worst killer . . .
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...
Everyone is gripped by The Bone Collector:
'The novel isn't just fast-paced, it's lightening speed! Hell, you get as much sleep as the characters do in a 24 hour period... So many twists, turns, suspense and action, you can't help reading it until waaay after the midnight hour. What I loved about this book is the details! Whether it's the crime scene, evidence or the cop lingo (terminology of forensics)... everything is well put together, and you don't miss a beat. Snap, snap, snap, one thing right after another. This is one of the best novels I've read. Can't wait to read more of Deaver's work!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'What can I say other than I absolutely LOVED this book?! Incredibly well written, engaging story with psychology, police protocol, crime history... the list goes on!... This ticked basically every box for me' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
'Soooo thrilling, I think I'm still recovering from the shellshock. Amazing characters, well-done pace, and some unbelievable twists in the end... Lincoln Rhyme is a great spin on your typical badass detective' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

'Lots of plot twists and I really loved the characters... The forensics was excellent and very detailed in this book along with the clues... The action was gripping and the suspense of the book was great. I loved the whole cat and mouse chase of this book to get to the next victim. The ending was epic with who the killer was... Excellent writing, characters and unforgettable plot twists!' Reader review ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
