This is the latest Lincoln Rhyme novel. Lincoln Rhyme is a quadriplegic forensics expert who works as a consultant for the New York police department. He partners with Amelia Sachs, who is also his romantic partner. There are a lot of Rhyme books. This one is good, but certainly not the best.
It does have an interesting premise. Rhyme is approached by an attorney who is trying to build a case against some members of a secret government organization who assassinate terrorists. They made a mistake due to selective intelligence and killed an innocent man, so this lawyer wants to find the evidence to prosecute them for murder. Of course there are numerous complications and plot twists. (Deaver is very fond of those.) But Rhyme always gets his man, and this case is no exception.
This book is clean, although there is talk of torture and some description of knife work that are pretty gruesome.
It is worth the time, but if you're new to the Lincoln Rhyme novels, start with an earlier novel in the series. They're better!
