The midnight lock

Jeffery Deaver

Lincoln Rhyme, 15

A woman awakes in the morning to find that someone has picked her apartment's apparently impregnable door lock - and, terrifyingly, rearranged her personal items, even sitting beside her as she slept. Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs are brought in to investigate and soon learn that this brilliant, sociopathic intruder, styling themself as 'the Locksmith', can break through any lock or security system ever devised. With more victims on the horizon, Rhyme, Sachs and their stable of associates must try to follow the evidence to the culprit's lair, and discover what the true mission might be. But their hunt is interrupted when an internal investigation in the police force uncovers what seems to be a crucial mistake in one of Rhyme's previous cases..
