Usiamo il telepass, le carte di credito, compiliamo moduli per cui dobbiamo fornire un sacco di dati personali ad ogni piè sospinto, ma cosa succede a tutti questi dati?
Se va tutto bene finiscono in banche dati informatiche, da dove, di norma, verranno estratti, nella ipotesi peggiore, per bersagliarvi di posta e mail indesiderati.
E se si uscisse dalla norma e finissero in mano a un feroce serial killer?
Assoluta attualità per questo nuovo libro di Deaver, e la solita scrittura magistrale che non permette di fermarsi prima di aver letto la parola fine.

Thriller at its best. The Lincoln Rhyme series is well written and holds your attention. Jeffrey Deaver is a new favorite.
I read a lot of books from different series. Thankfully this one doesn't suffer from the problem of the characters failing to evolve. This is one of the strong books in this series and definitely worth a read if you enjoy the genre or author.
This gets 3 stars with reservations. I mostly liked it because it's been ages since I've read any Jeffery Deaver and I enjoy his Lincoln Rhyme books. I moved onto him years back after James Patterson/Alex Cross started to leave me dissatisfied (the first two were great but churning out a book a month really affects quality). Deaver has always managed a complicated plot, depth and detail. But...
On this occasion, it's all hacking, cyber crime and identity theft. And some hoarding. Strong start but it slowly peters out. The cops seem fairly behind the ball (it takes them ages to figure out they've been targeted nearer the end which is pretty slow after everything they've discovered by that point). The biggest issue though is pure dumb luck plays too big a part. Despite all the fancy police work and forensic study, it's pretty much chance that gives them every break, including the identity of the killer. The ending lacked in satisfaction.
So, enjoyable enough but not the best. Not enough to put me off though, unlike the aforementioned Alex Cross.

Pretty good after you got into the first 50 pages or so.
Scary about info collected on people. Makes me want to go off the grid. Could have done without some of the language
I like the Lincoln Rhyme series because his character, as well as Amelia's, are so different and complex than most detective/crime novels.
Deaver ha scritto davvero un giallo e si tratta di un'altra avventura di Lincoln Ryhme e Amelia Sachs nell'inquietante mondo del furto dei dati personali e dello scenario statunitense che dopo l'11 settembre ha lasciato la porta aperta ad Echelon e tutto quello che segue rispetto alla violazione dei dati personali. Bel giallo anche se parecchio inquietante La finestra rotta, ma a me i suoi libri piacciono sempre.
