Lincoln Rhyme était sans doute le criminologue le plus célèbre des Etats-Unis, capable de dresser le portrait complet d'un tueur à partir de quelques indices recueillis sur la scène du crime. Mais Rhyme, blessé lors d'une enquête, n'est plus qu'un grand paralysé, esprit brillant dans un corps inerte, infirme sarcastique dont la seule obsession est d'en finir avec cette vie. Jusqu'à la découverte d'un cadavre enterré au bord d'une voie ferrée, dont seule une main ensanglantée sort de terre. A regret, Rhyme va reprendre du service pour traquer l'assassin du fond de son lit. L'homme est lancé à la poursuite de nouvelles victimes et il faut, pour les sauver, déchiffrer au plus vite les traces qu'il sème sur son passage avec la volonté diabolique de brouiller les pistes. Avec Lincoln Rhyme, Deaver a créé un formidable personnage d'enquêteur, cynique, érudit et d'une précision méthodique. Le Désosseur est un terrifiant cocktail de suspense et de médecine légale. Un film, Bone Collector, adapté du Désosseur a été réalisé par Philip Noyce.
