Renowned criminalist Lincoln Rhyme faces his ultimate opponent: a kidnapper and murderer dubbed the Insect Boy. But Rhyme is in for a surprise when he learns that catching a criminal is one thing...and keeping him is another. Now Rhyme, in North Carolina to undergo risky spinal cord surgery, finds himself hunting a ruthless killer in the heart of a southern swampland -- and going head-to-head with his protégé, Amelia Sachs, in a rivalry that tests the limits of both their expertise and their love.

No one weaves a captivating, nail-biting tale like Deaver. I missed an entire night's sleep because I couldn't put this down (and was too nervous to sleep if I had). This is a must read!

Wow - very good book that keeps you guessing! Does he have the operation or doesn't he? Does she go to jail or doesn't she? Hmm. Way to go, Mr. Deaver!

I love the Lincoln Rhyme series!! You never know what to expect and when you think you know you more than likely don't!! I highly recommend the series starting with the first (this is the third).

Another great Lincoln Rhyme mystery. Give that man a little dirt off the bottom of your shoe and he'll tell you not only what you had for breakfast, but what city your momma was born in!!

A Lincoln Rhymes novel. Linc faces his toughest criminal yet "the bug boy" . Catching this criminal is one thing but keeping him is another story.
All I can say is I have read all of Deavers books and this one kept me turning pages and wishing that the book would never end.
