Bestselling and award-winning author Jeffery Deaver brings back fan
favorite duo Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs with the plot development
that everyone’s been waiting for… Quadriplegic forensic
criminalist Lincoln Rhyme has been fully paralyzed since listeners first
met him. His partner Amelia Sachs has been his eyes, his ears, his
legs, and even became his paramour somewhere along the way. In The Burning Wire,
his wrenching debate about undergoing risky treatment to improve his
condition is finally resolved—a decision that threatens to derail his
most important case to date…and to have even more dire consequences.
Energy is on everyone’s mind—from renewables to the price of oil to the controversy over nuclear power. The Burning Wire
finds Rhyme, Sachs, and the cast of characters from Deaver’s earlier
novels in a breathless two-day race to stop a twisted killer, whose
horrific weapon of choice is the very energy that powers our lives.
