Part of Lincoln Rhyme, book 11.5
First published 2016
Eduardo Rinaldo made his living as a deliveryman, but not all his packages contained legitimate goods. When his body turns up in New York City, forensic investigator Lincoln Rhyme and detective Amelia Sachs arrive to work the murder scene. The case takes an urgent turn as they shift from identifying the killer to tracking down Eduardo's final delivery. Dangerous contraband now sits somewhere in the city, and Rhyme and Sachs face a race against time. They are not alone in their search. Other parties want those missing goods, and they will do anything to claim them first. The investigation forces the detective duo into the shadowy world of illegal commerce, where the stakes grow deadlier with each clue they uncover. Rhyme must use his forensic expertise while Sachs navigates the streets, both knowing that failure means putting innocent lives at risk.
