Synopsis
When a woman arrives home to her Manhattan apartment to find her personal items have been rearranged while she slept, police initially dismiss her complaint. Nothing was stolen, and there's no sign of breaking and entering.
But when the same woman turns up dead, Lincoln Rhyme and Ameila Sachs are brought in to investigate and soon learn that the sociopathic intruder who calls himself "The Locksmith" can break through any lock or security system ever devised. With more victims in the horizon, Rhyme, Sachs and their stable of associates must follow the evidence to the man's lair, and discover his true mission.
Their hunt is interrupted when an internal investigation in the police force uncovers what seems to be a crucial mistake in one of Rhyme's previous cases.
He is fired as a consultant for the NYPD and must risk jail if he investigates the Locksmith case in secret.
My Thoughts:
As soon as I picked up this book and started reading, I knew this book was going to be hard to put down. The plot was really well written, and also the story.
Lincoln Rhyme and his wife Amelia Sachs race to solve a couple of strange break ins, that seem to not really look like anything has happened, hence the Locksmith. They race to stop the suspect and also race to make sure Lincoln doesn't go to jail.
There are plenty of twists and turns in this story, and the book is very hard to put down.
Jeffery has always written excellent books, but this one is at the top of the list. It is a definite must read.
I would absolutely recommend this book! That is why I give this book five stars.
