Skin collector
Death is his art.
Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs: the quadriplegic criminalist with a genius for deduction and the rookie police officer. They first met more than ten years ago while hunting for the Bone Collector, forming a legendary team. But this latest case is different – they are hunting a killer who seems to be inspired by the Bone Collector himself.
His plan is polished to the finest detail; his method of murder paralyses New York with terror. He drags his victims to an underground dungeon where, using a knife and a tattoo machine, he creates cryptic messages on their bodies. But instead of ink, he uses a poison that causes his victims such excruciating pain that they see death as a welcome release.
Rhyme and Sachs know it’s only a matter of time before the Skin Collector strikes again. What is his criteria for choosing his victims? What message do the tattooed messages hide? What insane mission is the perpetrator trying to fulfil with his actions? The answers to all these questions must be found before the killer targets his next victim – or even Rhyme and Sachs themselves.
"Deaver's ability to tell the reader everything and yet still manipulate the story with devilish twists is the mark of a master. Readers who don't know Lincoln Rhyme will discover a detective who rivals Sherlock Holmes, and fans can look forward to familiar aspects of previous cases. "
