But Rhyme is in for a surprise when he learns that catching a criminal is one thing… and keeping him is another. Now the quadriplegic Rhyme, in North Carolina to undergo risky spinal cord surgery, finds himself hunting a ruthless killer in the heart of a southern swampland — and going head-to-head with his protégée, Amelia Sachs, in a rivalry that tests the limits of both their expertise and their love.
