The Coffin Dancer (Lincoln Rhyme Series, Book #2) by Jeffery Deaver
Lincoln Rhyme, the foremost criminalist in the NYPD, is on the hunt for an elusive murderer known as "the Coffin Dancer." He's a brilliant hitman who changes his appearance faster than he adds to his trail of victims, only one of whom has lived long enough to offer a clue: the assassin has an eerie tattoo on his arm of the Grim Reaper waltzing in front of a casket.
Rhyme, paralyzed accidentally in the line of duty, is sure he's seen this killer before, and his suspicion of an earlier encounter fuels a bitter taste for vengeance. The stakes reach a new high when the chameleon-like assassin targets three federal witnesses. Now Rhyme's brainpower and his protege Officer Amelia Sachs's legwork are the only tools they have to track the cunning murderer through a darkly painted New York City -- and they have only forty-eight hours before the Coffin Dancer strikes again.
