About this ebook

SOON TO BE A MAJOR TELEVISION EVENT FROM NBC, STARRING RUSSELL HORNSBY, ARIELLE KEBBEL, AND MICHAEL IMPERIOLI.

Lincoln Rhyme faces “an Orwellian nightmare” (The New York Times) as a twisted techno-genius destroys lives with impunity by stealing personal information from behind the impenetrable walls of cyberspace.

Rhyme’s cousin Arthur has been arrested on murder charges, and the evidence against the estranged relative Lincoln hasn’t seen in years is perfect—too perfect. Lincoln and his partner Amelia Sachs piece together a deadly pattern of similarly vicious frame-ups that leads them to the imposing Strategic Systems Datacorp—and a master of identity theft and manipulation known only as “522.” But cracking this ingenious killer’s realm places Rhyme and Sachs exactly where “522” wants them—in line to be the next victims.

Ratings and reviews

As a longtime Jeffery Deaver/Lincoln Rhyme fan, I was blown away by The Broken Window. The adversary was very tricky and his methods uncomfortably reminded me of how dependent we, as a society, are upon computers. A riveting read.

THE best book i have EVER read. Ever. The suspense just pulls you in and make you want to keep reading. Just, pure, awesomeness.

twists and turns, characters that you hate, love and sympathize at the same time. A winner.
