Book 79: "The Burning Wire" by Jeffrey Deaver

     Lincoln Rhyme, a quadraplegic criminologist and former police chief, returns in Jeffrey Deaver's new suspense novel, "The Burning Wire".  Deaver is known for his simple yet elegant style of writing. 
     There are two compeling storylines running throughout this book.  First, Rhyme is quite busy bringing the very evil "Watchmaker" to justice when (second) Manhattan's supply of electricity comes under attack.  The FBI, CIA and local police persuade Lincoln Rhyme to get involved in this matter, as well.
     Deaver keeps these two plot lines moving at a fast clip.  The author is a masterful storyteller--you will find yourself in the middle of the action right from the very beginning!
