Eleven-book series written by Lawyer-turned-Novelist Jeffery Deavers.
Lincoln Rhyme is one of the nation's top criminalists, or was until a tunnel collapse broke his spine and left him quadriplegic.
Now, the NYPD asks him for help once again after a murder and a kidnapping where very few, strange clues are left at the scene. He is assisted by NYPD officer Amelia Sachs, who has little forensic experience other than reading Rhyme's book on the subject, but has an extremely good eye for noticing evidence.
