Product Description:
Bestselling master of suspense Jeffery Deaver is back with a brand-new Lincoln Rhyme thriller.
Lincoln Rhyme and partner/paramour Amelia Sachs return to face a criminal whose ingenious staging of crimes is enabled by a terrifying acess to information....
When Lincoln's estranged cousin Arthur Rhyme is arrested on murder charges, the case is perfect -- too perfect. Forensic evidence from Arthur's home is found all over the scene of the crime, and it looks like the fate of Lincoln's relative is sealed.
At the behest of Arthur's wife, Judy, Lincoln grudgingly agrees to investigate the case. Soon Lincoln and Amelia uncover a string of similar murders and rapes with perpetrators claiming innocence and ignorance -- despite ironclad evidence at the scenes of the crime. Rhyme's team realizes this 'perfect' evidence may actually be the result of masterful identity theft and manipulation.
An information service company -- the huge data miner Strategic Systems Datacorp -- seems to have all the answers but is reluctant to help the police. Still, Rhyme and Sachs and their assembled team begin uncovering a chilling pattern of vicious crimes and coverups, and their investigation points to one master criminal, whom they dub '522.'
When '522' learns the identities of the crime-fighting team, the hunters become the hunted. Full of Deaver's trademark plot twists, The Broken Window will put the partnership of Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs to the ultimate test.

This is your standard Jeffery Deaver novel. Since I lilke his Lincoln Rhyme novels, I enjoyed this one, too. If you have read others, you will notice that they include people from past novels and if you haven't, this will not be a deterent.
Very good CSI features and you always learn about detective work.

When Lincoln Rhymes reluctantly agrees to drop an important case to pursue the solution to his cousin's recent murder charge, he enters the world of identity theft and data mining. For the very first time, he faces an uncommonly evil adversary who "knows everything", which is exceptionally frustrating for a person like Rhymes.
I, like many other reviewers, have read all of this series and found this one to be a super page-turner. I frequently neglected my computer or watching the Olympics to get back to my book. I remember as I read that I bet Deaver put a lot of work into his books, so be sure to watch the 3-min. video that Amazon includes after the PW review - it's amazing!
While most of us worry about identity theft, I also remember thinking, go ahead and try to quantify me (data mining companies), I just don't think I'm quantifiable. But I don't think I ever want a dossier on me as large as the one on Amelia Sachs no matter how correct or incorrect. Is this for real? Perhaps fiction based on future truth.
Well said, Mr. Deaver. At any rate, knowledge is power in anyone's book!
Rated by buyers -
A great page turner from Deaver. Not as formulaic as some of his past Rhyme books - I hate that it took a real life identity theft to spark his creativity. A bit paranoia-inducing (I did re-check my credit report), but quite entertaining!

I liked this one a lot. Not my favorite, I think my fav is one of the very first Lincoln Rhyme novel ( Bones) but this one rates right up there. For the most part Jeffery Deaver writes really good mysteries with unusual twists that keep you really interested, and this one fit the bill. If your a fan this one is a don't miss, if you have not read one of these books maybe this is the time to start. It is a good read whether on the beach or in the car.
