Robert Moreno, an
American citizen living in South America, is shot in the Bahamas by a
sniper. The killing was commissioned by the U.S. government, who
received a tip-off that Moreno was planning a terrorist attack on a U.S.
oil company headquarters. But this intelligence was fatally incorrect:
anti-American Moreno ordered a protest at the oil company, not an
attack.
Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are drafted in to
investigate. While Sachs traces Moreno’s steps in New York, Rhyme
travels to the scene of the crime in Nassau, where he finds himself on a
dangerous path trailed by the sniper himself. As details of the case
start to emerge, the pair discover that not all is what it seemed. Can
they achieve justice and escape with their lives intact?
It's been ages since I read a Lincoln Rhyme novel ... the whole romance between the two of them and him trying to overcome his disability etc. etc. Don't misunderstand, I lovedlovedloved the first in the series ... but nothing since has quite lived up to that. Although most have been good (I think the electricity one is the only one I really didn't enjoy) and this was no exception. It started out a bit iffy ... but it came together in the end. And had some twists, but nothing that shocked me or made me feel differently about the book, really.
