The Burning Wire: A Lincoln Rhyme Novel (Lincoln Rhyme #9)
by Jeffery DeaverLincoln 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 Rhyme's net. Juggling two massive investigations against a cruel ticking clock takes a toll on Rhyme's 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 . . .

In 1871, a Michigan farmwoman named Rachel Hayes vanished in one of the Great Fires that ravaged the Midwest. When her remains are recovered from a long-lost well, it's considered an amazing archaeological find. At first. Until the fires begin again. And the strange accidents start happening. As David struggles to build his practice, and his life, he becomes entangled in an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Rachel Hayes' death. At the same time, he also finds himself falling into a very modern love affair, and all of the problems that come with it. But the violence and accidents don't stop, and as people around him begin to die, David realizes that he must find out who-or what-is behind all of this. He can either believe in ghosts or something far worse-an evil so vast that even a million-acre fire can't burn it away.
