Believing his career is over, Tom refers his friend to a brilliant, yet beleaguered, former student, Rick Drake, who begins to uncover that the truth behind the tragedy is buried in a tangled web of arson, bribery and greed. When a key witness is murdered on the eve of trial, the young attorney, in over his head and at the end of his rope, knows he needs help...and there's only one man who can help him"--Provided by publisher.

Mon cher ami, en tete de ces pages, j'ai voulu, pour deux raisons tres fortes et tres precises, inscrire votre nom. D'abord, pour que vous sachiez combien votre nom m'est cher. Ensuite, -je le dis avec un tranquille orgueil, -parce que vous aimerez ce livre. Et ce livre, malgre tous ses defauts, vous l'aimerez, parce que c'est un livre sans hypocrisie, parce que c'est de la vie, et de la vie comme nous la comprenons, vous et moi.

"Varias cuentas de correo electrónico, tu perfil en Facebook, páginas de Twitter e Instagram, tus fotos en Flickr Y si alguien fuera capaz de recopilar toda la información que vas volcando en la red? Y si ese alguien estuviera dispuesto a utilizarla para colarse en tu casa y convertirte en una víctima más de su locura o incluso a hacer de ti el culpable perfecto? Cuando su primo Arthur es acusado de matar a una mujer, Lincoln Rhyme decide que ni el más inútil de los asesinos dejaría tantos rastros. Ayudado por la detective Amelia Sachs, el criminalista tetrapléjico se dispone a jugar una mortal partida de ajedrez contra un rival invisible, que además puede anticipar cada uno de sus movimientos."--Back cover.

Sometimes a man and woman love and hate each other in equal measure that they can neither stay together nor break apart. Some marriages can only end in murder and some murders only make the ties of love and hatred stronger. This book proves just that.
