The Burning Wire (Lincoln Rhyme, #9)

The Burning Wire (Large Print) As Earth Day approaches, someone breaks into the power company and manipulates the electric grid in New York City. The result—a 5000° arc flash—shoots out of a substation, killing a man on the street. Even more terrifying, this attack seems to be a test for a far greater display. But who is behind an eco-terrorist group, a disgruntled utility employee or some psychotic individual? Aware that arc flashes can leap from electrical outlets at anytime, anywhere, Lincoln Rhyme, Amelia Sachs and their crew must find and stop the killer before more people die. Then Rhyme gets a call from body-language expert Kathryn the Watchmaker is in Mexico City stalking a target. Can Rhyme work both cases without letting either perp get away?
