It makes our lives easier, our connections faster and journeys quicker.
But in the wrong hands, it can kill...
Detective Amelia Sachs is hot on the trail of a murderer, chasing him through a Brooklyn department store, when her pursuit is fatally interrupted. An escalator gives way, forcing Sachs down into the machinery to help the man trapped in its depths... and enabling the suspect to flee.
But was it simply a freak accident? Could the killer's presence in the store really be a coincidence?
As the body count threatens to grow, Sachs and forensic expert Lincoln Rhyme realise they are facing one of their most formidable opponents ever. Someone able to turn the most commonplace product into a murder weapon. Someone who can kill by remote control...
Review by Sara McDuling
Book 12 in the Lincoln Rhyme series, The Steel Kiss is one of the absolute best Forensic Thrillers I have ever read. It's also the first Lincoln Rhyme book I have ever read. I've always intended to read this series, ever since I saw The Bone Collector and found myself intrigued by the idea of a quadriplegic forensic detective. But somehow, as much as I liked the movie, I just never got around to reading the book.
But now? Given how much I enjoyed The Steel Kiss, there's no doubt in my mind that I'll be getting myself a copy of The Bone Collector and then reading through the whole series.
Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are on the hunt for an ingenious serial killer who turns commonplace objects into murder weapons. As the death toll rises, they are locked in a deadly battle of wits with their prey, forced into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse played out in the streets of New York.
The Steel Kiss is one heck of a good read. I cannot stress this enough. This is the kind of multi-layered, richly textured, masterfully plotted crime thriller that you can really sink your teeth into. I got lost in this book and I can't wait to attack the rest of the series!
