1) Symbiotic terrorist cells, cumulonimbus communications and an invisible suspect with an invisible weapon and
2) an attempt to trap Richard Logan AKA the Watchmaker (a criminal who got away the last time) in Mexico City. No clues except for a mysterious circuit board, its owner's manual and two meaningless numbers, 570 and 379.
Does that sound like your kind of book? Do the two cases eventually merge or are they two separate cases for Lincoln Rhyme and his entourage?
There are a lot of mixed reviews about Deaver's latest and ninth Lincoln Rhyme book on the internet. Apart from the fact that I had to check the publication date a couple of times in the beginning to make sure that it was published in 2010 and that it was Deaver's latest book as it seemed a touch predictable in places, I would highly recommend The Burning Wire. Deaver is a genius writer, one of my absolute favourites and has a permanent position at the top of my bookshelf and I look forward to his new James Bond book, Carte Blanche, out on 26 May 2011 in the UK and on 14 June 2011 in the USA and Canada.
The author introduces The Burning Wire with an electrifying ending (you have been warned):
