Broken Window by Jeffery Deaver

Features Lincoln Rhyme and Amanda Sachs

When the detective's cousin is arrested for murder, it seems to be an open-and-shut case, as plenty of forensic evidence links him to the crime. But Lincoln's gut tells him that his cousin is innocent and in his investigation he discovers that the real killer is framing others for his killings by manipulating intimate computer information. But how can you track down a killer when you don't know anything about him including what he looks like. So they name him Unsub 522 (after the date they discover him) and try to find details that will help them track down this most deadly of killers. Unsub 522 is an ingenious master of the dreaded crime of the 21st century - identity theft! He steals data, reconstructs people's lives, destroys some information, rearranges the rest and is even capable of planting legitimate evidence framing an unsuspecting victim for his own brutal serial murders.

It was interesting learning more about Lincoln's past and his relationships with his father and uncle. I have read the first book in the series and enjoyed getting to know more about Lincoln and others from other books in the series. While some aspects of the book were a bit contrived most was really thought provoking as I hadn't thought about who has access to my private information and what could be done with it. So I guess it really comes down to convenience versus privacy and what it is worth to me.
