Review: Intricately plotted

This is, for a short story, quite intricate and involved.  As we have grown to expect, the Lincoln Rhyme series is always well written, suspenseful, fast moving, and complex.  Somehow this translates better than expected to short story format.  All the usual suspects are present and their interactions lend shading and personality to the often taciturn Rhyme.  I was pretty convinced that I knew who the bad guy was through the entire story, I was wrong.  You can read this novella by itself, but I think you would miss out on a lot of the subtle aspects of the characters, the back story, and relationships.  I recommend this to all lovers of this enthralling series.
