Chronicle During Books The Broken Window (Lincoln Rhyme #8)
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 crimes. 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, along with their assembled team begin uncovering a chilling pattern of vicious crimes and coverups, leading their investigation to point at 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.

Well after a kick butt book #7, I had high hopes for book #8, instead this one floundered a lot IMHO. We also have Sachs in my opinion being a total nitwit for how she handles an inappropriate relationship with someone she is close to. And I have to say that this book was highly repetitive from beginning to end. I think that Deaver was trying to tell three stories in this one, and they all get pretty lost. The ending I found to be off and just setting things up for the next book in the series.
DisturbingA story about the amount of data on each and every one of us and how it can be used in the right hands and in the wrong. Can't say much more without spoilers. Once again am excellent story with a brilliant protagonist. Unfortunately once again there seemed to me, that there was a large chunk of fairly slow story line in the middle. But either side of this was very fast paced. For this reason I am awarding 4 not 5 stars.
Another crime solved by the great criminalist Lincoln Rhyme and his partner Amelia Sachs. This one was a creepy story about identity theft at its very worst - the big problem for me is that I can totally see this happening in the world today - makes me want to throw away all my store club cards and credit cards and live "off the grid." We also get some interesting family history for Lincoln this time.Highly recommended for fans of the series and those who enjoy criminal mysteries.
In this eighth book in the 'Lincoln Rhyme' series, the quadriplegic criminalist and his partner, detective Amelia Sachs, are drawn into the investigation when Lincoln's cousin is accused of murder.The book can be read as a standalone, but familiarity with the characters is a bonus.*****When Lincoln Rhyme's cousin Arthur Rhyme is arrested for murder, Lincoln and his team soon discover that the real murderer is a serial rapist/murderer who uses personal information from a data mining company to
Ever since I got introduced to Lincoln Rhyme in the "Bone Collector", I can never get enough of him. In "Broken Window", Lincoln Rhyme returns with a dazzle after his last adventure "Cold Moon" which had a left us in a shock (can't reveal any details)."The Broken Window" has a formidable villain. This plot is not about Lincoln chasing the evil. Somewhere down the line, it becomes the evil chasing Lincoln and making him squeal from every angle. Lincoln is helpless, truly. This book shines BECAUSE
If Lincoln Rhyme were to be brought to life in a television serial, the character would need a major overhaul to make it through a first season; hopefully one that won't be truncated suddenly due to low ratings.In Denzel Washingtons The Bone Collector, Lincoln Rhyme wasnt irksome. Or as arrogant, rude, obnoxious, callous, and hardhearted as the Rhyme in the book series. Halfway through Book VIII of the series, it surprises me that Ive read book after book after book because in each, Lincoln
