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 Rhymes net.
Juggling two massive investigations against a cruel ticking clock takes a toll on Rhymes 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.

What did you love best about The Burning Wire?
I like the Rhyme series. This one had a great plot, and a lot of action.Who was your favorite character and why?
Rhyme's lieutenant. I think he learned a lot in this experience.Have you listened to any of Dennis Boutsikaris’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
yes. Great as always.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the hotel was attacked by the bad guy. For a moment I was wondering if this could actually happen...Any additional comments?
Great story, and great action. I don't think these things could actually happen but it makes a great plot.Lincoln Rhyme at his best!

1. crime scene
2. remind us what "the grid" is
3. pile up the evidence
4. have someone we least suspect jump out of nowhere to be the suspect
5. have that same person somehow break into Rhyme's place and try to kill him
6. have Rhyme contemplate some sort of risky surgery to lessen his disability
7. peek into secondary characters' lives just enough to get us confused as to who they are
(spoiler alert) Is it just me, or did they just completely decide that Gault wasn't the killer without any real evidence suggesting otherwise. Of course, knowing the Deaver formula by now I knew it wasn't him. And the only evidence I had were previous Deaver novels. Say it ain't so--let's have some non-formulaic "mysteries" in the future.
Been there, done that

Happy about the ending

The book is a four-star winner with some very creepy moments and Deaver's mastery of suspense is in evidence. I'll be thinking twice before I plug anything in. But the final moments are very positive and hopefully will lead to more Rhyme books - just not ones read by Boutsikaris.
Good book; disappointing narration
