Following the enigmatic clues his father left behind, Shaw plays cat and mouse with the company's sadistic enforcers, as he speeds from one gritty neighborhood in the City by the Bay to another.

When an improvised explosive device is found outside a hospital, the understaffed Middleton PD knows it’s up against a pro. No one takes credit for the sophisticated device—all that Detective Jake Sloan has to go on is a poem. The cryptic rhyme surfaced shortly after the bomb scare. But ex-soldier and football player Sloan has never been much of a poetry buff. When a second verse turns up, containing a message in code, he solicits the help of English professor Ciara Hawkins.

Rhyme, a world-class forensic criminologist known for his successful apprehension of the most devious criminals, is immediately tapped for the investigation.

Better than most Jeffery Deaver
There have been a couple Jeffery Deaver books I’ve not been able to make it through, but this one held my interest throughout in a very interesting way with its twists and turns.

Too many disfunctional people here
I'm not used to complete sex scenes in Deaver's work. I didn't need that. I listened to about 2 hours, enough to know if I want to continue, and there are about 5 story lines going on here. I trust that Deaver can macrame all the threads together into a good story, but this is not for me. There's enough weirdness in the world that I don't need psychopaths and cheating family members in my books.

Not for Audio reading
This may work as a book read, but as an audio book I was constantly having to back up and re-listen and still had problems. It's hard to believe this is written by the same author who came up with Lincoln Ryme and Katherine Dance. The narrator was also a poor choice and I found it difficult to differentiate between characters. I give it 3 stars only because I've enjoyed so much of Deaver's work.
