A killer without limits. He comes into your home at night. He watches you as you sleep. He waits. A city in turmoil. He calls himself ‘The Locksmith’. No door can keep him out. No security system can catch him. And now he’s about to kill. A race against time to stop him. Nobody in New York is safe. Now it’s up to Lincoln Rhyme to untangle the web of evidence and catch him. But with Lincoln under investigation himself, and tension in the city at boiling point, time is running out...

Thoughts

I listened to the audiobook of this next book in the Lincoln Rhyme series, and really enjoyed it. It had the usual formula of a serial criminal (not necessarily murderer) leaving trace evidence that allows our heroes to figure out what and who and why. But throw in bungled court cases, getting fired from the police department, and that stranger who is always suspicious when they appear… a little bit of everything for another sturdy Rhyme thriller.

Rating: 4 / 5
