It was a "million-dollar bullet," a sniper shot delivered from over a
mile away. Its victim was no ordinary mark: he was a United States
citizen, targeted by the United States government, and assassinated in
the Bahamas.
The nation's most renowned investigator and forensics expert, Lincoln
Rhyme, is drafted to investigate. While his partner, Amelia Sachs,
traces the victim's steps in Manhattan, Rhyme leaves the city to pursue
the sniper himself. As details of the case start to emerge, the pair
discovers that not all is what it seems.
When a deadly, knife-wielding assassin begins systematically eliminating
all evidence--including the witnesses--Lincoln's investigation turns
into a chilling battle of wits against a cold-blooded killer.
