Jeffery Deaver læser fra The Broken Window.
"New York Times best-selling thriller writer Jeffery Deaver will sign & discuss his new Lincoln Rhyme "ticking-clock" thriller, The Broken Window (Simon & Schuster; $26.95). Data mining is the industry of the 21st century. Commercial companies collect information about us from thousands of sources ... (mere)-- credit cards, loyalty programs, hidden radio tags in products, medical histories, employment and banking records, government filings, and many more -- then analyze and sell the data to anyone willing to pay the going rate. Some people approve, citing economic benefits; others worry about the erosion of privacy. But no one has been prepared for a new twist: A psychotic killer with access to the country's biggest data miner -- Strategic Systems Datacorp -- is using detailed information to work his way into the lives of victims, rape, rob and kill them and then blame unsuspecting innocents for the crimes. The killer's voluminous knowledge of the victims and his ability to plant damning evidence mean that even the most vocal protests of innocence go ignored by the police and juries. The perp has, in short, found a perfect means to literally get away with murder—until one of his fall guys turns out to be Lincoln Rhyme's cousin, Arthur, who is facing certain conviction for first-degree murder. Though the two Rhymes haven't had any contact for years, Lincoln agrees to look into the case."
