Book Reviews of The Broken Window: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel

Book Review: I always feel like someone is watching me.
Summary: 5 Stars

Ever feel as though you are be watched? Ever wonder if someone was collecting personal information about you? In Jeffery Deaver novel The Broken Window, we are shown the underground world of identity theft. Jeff Deav explains in pain-staking detail what these creeps look for, how they access your info, the amount of time required to do such acts, and more. The story revolves around forensic science and tracing computers to solve the case and track down the bad guy...who has ties to Rhyme's past. Once again Linc is forced into the savior role and Amelia once again finds herself in trouble. The writing is top-notch. The characters are well-developed and believable and the story flows as smooth as a high-speed Internet connection. I would also highly recommend reading Ashes Divide by Clarence Cage: Ashes Divide my favorite novel of 2009.

Summary of The Broken Window: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel

Bestselling master of suspense Jeffery Deaver is back with a brand-new Lincoln Rhyme thriller.

Lincoln Rhyme and partner/paramour Amelia Sachs return to face a criminal whose ingenious staging of crimes is enabled by a terrifying access to information....

When Lincoln's estranged cousin Arthur Rhyme is arrested on murder charges, the case is perfect -- too perfect. Forensic evidence from Arthur's home is found all over the scene of the crime, and it looks like the fate of Lincoln's relative is sealed.

At the behest of Arthur's wife, Judy, Lincoln grudgingly agrees to investigate the case. Soon Lincoln and Amelia uncover a string of similar murders and rapes with perpetrators claiming innocence and ignorance -- despite ironclad evidence at the scenes of the crime. Rhyme's team realizes this "perfect" evidence may actually be the result of masterful identity theft and manipulation.

An information service company -- the huge data miner Strategic Systems Datacorp -- seems to have all the answers but is reluctant to help the police. Still, Rhyme and Sachs and their assembled team begin uncovering a chilling pattern of vicious crimes and coverups, and their investigation points to one master criminal, whom they dub "522."

When "522" learns the identities of the crime-fighting team, the hunters become the hunted. Full of Deaver's trademark plot twists, The Broken Window will put the partnership of Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs to the ultimate test.
