When Lincoln's cousin is arrested on murder charges the case against Arthur Rhyme is perfect - too perfect.

The eighth Lincoln Rhyme novel.
Unlocking a cold case with explosive implications for the future of civil rights, forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme and his protege, Amelia Sachs, must outguess a killer who has targeted a high school girl from Harlem who is digging into the past of one of her ancestors, a former slave.
