The Bone Collector - Jeffery Deaver

"Lincoln Rhyme, a leading forensic criminologists in the world, is paralyzed from the neck down, so that lives attached to his bed. When planning suicide receives a call from an old friend: buried in a road train West Side New York found the hand of a man who took a taxi that would never ... its driver was 'Bone Collector'. Only Rhyme can decipher the clues that leaves the intelligent psychopath. The police officer Amelia Sachs will be your arms and legs in a frantic and exciting race to stop the horror. "

Go ahead comment Jeffery Deaver is always an entertaining writer but rarely touches the brilliance, but rather for lack of resources due to lack of literary talent. It can be said with justice that his best find is the creation of an unusual character such as the criminologist Lincoln Rhyme, whose first novel is the one in question. Rhyme is a leading scientist, gifted intellect, self-centered and cold as a fish but also a troubled man, who lives in hell of complete paralysis except for his head and one finger. In "The Bone Collector", the beginning of a journey that now has several novels, Rhyme contact an association pro-euthanasia to end his frustrating existence. However, a strange series of murders thanks to which the police ask advice to postpone a voluntary cause death sentence.

Because you can not perform by itself, Rhyme uses the help of an attractive police officer Amelia Sachs, also beset by his own personal demons, which is responsible for collecting evidence from crime scenes, these scenes being the most interesting novel.

From there, Deaver develops a fast-paced story that leaves no respite until the exciting final and once again demonstrates the skill with which the author develops the action and chase scenes, 100% film, without neglecting other more introspective sequences in which Rhyme is torn between the desire to die, caused by their living situation and, stimulated by the research itself is carried out. Towards the latter part of the novel, this contrast is of particular importance to be intimately connected with the case.

A History of Jeffery Deaver always guarantee a great time entertaining and "The Bone Collector" does not disappoint in that regard. Perhaps where most weakens the author is in the repetition of situations, not only along several of his works but also within the same novels. Also sometimes the character grates Amelia Sachs, a "stunning redhead", former underwear model, an expert on guns and fast cars, in short, looks like a stereotype of FHM magazine. On other sections of the novel also reveals a more complex woman than meets the eye, but I suspect that resources such as arthritis or endorse a self-destructive manias are nothing more than an attempt by the writer to correct the image almost comic heroine who at the start.

Deaver also weakens the dialogues, which are not bad, but irregular and although "The Bone Collector holds a commendable job of documentation, sometimes the desire for Deaver to explain everything that has studied Lastra a topic action is unnecessary or even irritating.

Finally, I would point out the significant presence of secondary accompany Rhyme and Sachs throughout the series to "Letter No. 12", last published novel: on the whole suffered Thom, a nurse at the criminal, the detective Lon Sellitto and Fred Dellray and some characters related to a particular novel that reappear later as a cameo.
