The Skin Collector

A tattoo artist is using poison instead of ink. And on a young woman's skin he's left a message: 'the second.' Drafted in to investigate, Lincoln Rhyme and Amelia Sachs find a single piece of evidence, a scrap of paper that connects this case with one they will never forget. And like the 'Bone Collector' before him, Rhyme and Sachs find themselves pitted against a perpetrator who plans his work to the last detail.
