Broken window
Can we defend ourselves against a man who knows everything about us?
The world has moved into the 21st century and bone collectors have become data collectors. The key to money and power is held by whoever has the most information about our credit cards, medical records or shopping habits. It could be a commercial company, it could be a snooping government. and he could be a homicidal psychopath.
The man has gained access to the databases of the largest information company in America and uses the information to infiltrate the lives of selected victims, whom he murders and then blames on innocent citizens. All indications are that he's found the recipe for the perfect murder - only then one of his scapegoats becomes the cousin of CSI Lincoln Rhyme.
Rhyme frees himself to help his desperate cousin and gradually begins to untangle the criminal web spun by a perpetrator obsessed with the desire to collect: from street junk to the intimate details of other people's lives. Over the course of three days, the CSI will experience dozens of twists, turns and turns and uncover countless shocking insights into identity theft and data trafficking. This time, he's up against a new age perpetrator: a man with a vision that the most reliable lethal weapon is information. "
