Nine-book series written by Lawyer-turned-Novelist Jeffery Deavers.
Lincoln Rhymes is one of the nation's top criminalists, or was until a tunnel collapse broke his spine and left him quadraplegic.
Now, NYPD asks him for help once again after a murder and a kidnapping with very few and strange clues are left at the scene.

* AloneWithThePsycho: [[spoiler:An especially creepy version - alone with the psycho while ''paralysed below the neck''. And said Psycho is your '''DOCTOR''']].
* ChekhovsGunman: Just about every damn book.
* CreepySouvenir: The ''Bone Collector''. No points awarded for guessing what he collects.
* DisabilityAsAnExcuseForJerkassery: Rhyme is made of this, specially at the beginning.
* FairCop: Rhyme is described as a young and handsome version of Robert DeNiro, despite being in his forties. Amelia Sachs is a more straight case considering she's a former model
* GeniusCripple: Lincoln Rhyme, a [[ExaggeratedTrope genius quadraplegic]].
* GPSEvidence: In the first book, all the evidence points the location of the next victim. They cross-reference the evidence and are able to pin point the exact location some where in NYC. The ''Bone Collector'' was leaving these traces on purpose however.
* InsufferableGenius: Lincoln Rhyme is brilliant and does seem to have a problem showing it off. He is rough and rude to just about everybody in the movie at some point.
* JackTheRipoff
* LifeOrLimbDecision: A variation -- Rhyme tells Donaghy to cut a body's hand off rather than risk damaging the handcuffs which he wants to examine.
* MagicalDatabase: Lincoln was working on several, he's dismayed to find out some were not completed once he was out of the force.
* TheMainCharactersDoEverything: Justified and deconstructed - Donaghy is a patrol cop with no forensics training beyond reading Rhyme's textbook on the subject, and she's only involved in the investigation at his insistence (he feels she has good instincts) and against her and her SO's objections. When Rhyme pushes her over the limit by ordering her to [[spoiler:dissect a body,]] she storms off the scene.
