As in The Terminator , the bad guys in The Devils Teardrop just wont quit and they create enough havoc in the last 50 pages to fill a whole new book. Although Deavers brilliant, wheelchair-bound forensic expert Lincoln Rhyme makes a guest appearance, the muscular scientist in charge here is Parker Kincaid--an expert in document analysis whod much rather be checking the authenticity of letters from Thomas Jefferson than figuring out when a crazed shooter known as the Digger will strike again. But its New Years Eve, 1999, and the Digger has begun a reign of terror--promising to shoot into crowds in Washington DC every four hours until hes paid US$20million. As Kincaid searches an odd ransom note for clues (and tries to maintain a low profile so that his vindictive ex-wife wont get custody of his young kids), we get to know the Digger better. He is a frighteningly invisible character with serious brain damage, who methodically obeys a set of instructions from an unknown handler. We also learn many amazing facts about paper, ink, and handwriting analysis, and watch as a relationship slowly and reluctantly develops between Kincaid and the FBI agent in charge. All this as the devious Deaver leads us down several garden paths overflowing with dead bodies. -- Dick Adler, Amazon.com
