(36,452 posts)69. Deaver description
As seen in the movie, "The Bone Collector," Rhyme is a paralyzed former NYPD forensic specialist who has some rather amazing powers of deduction and evidence analysis.
Working almost exclusively from his townhouse in NYC (with his NYPD partner Amelia Sachs in the field), Rhyme manages to solve some complex and baffling cases that leave everyone else either stumped or going off in the wrong direction.
