‘Deaver is a masterful storyteller’ Daily Express

You’ve followed a killer into a swamp. Hopefully you’ll find him before he gets to his next victims. But you’d better watch out – the Insect Boy doesn’t need his own hands to kill . . .

Sick of his debilitating injuries, Lincoln Rhyme has travelled to a world-famous spinal cord injuries center in North Carolina for some risky, experimental surgery. It may make him a tiny bit better; it may kill him. But before he has a chance to undergo the operation, the local police department draft Rhyme and his partner Amelia into a shocking new case. Using their forensic skills the pair desperately try to track down two women kidnapped by a psychotic young man known locally as the Insect Boy.

After a cat-and-mouse game through the abandoned swamps of North Carolina, Lincoln and Amelia finally manage to find him – except suddenly Amelia, convinced of his innocence, breaks the boy out of jail. And it’s left to Lincoln to find them both, while Amelia uses all the skills her mentor and lover has taught her to evade him.

But her actions are to have more disastrous consequences than either of them could anticipate . . .
