Burning wire
Any everyday object can become a murder weapon, or the ninth Lincoln Rhyme case
It is a weapon both invisible and omnipresent, without which modern society could not exist: electrical grid. The killer uses huge arc blasts with high voltage and such a temperature that it melts steel and people start to burn. The first horrific attack, in which a city bus was turned into a pile of molten metal, was considered a terrorist act by officials. Lincoln Rhyme and his team were immediately brought in to investigate. As the attacks rampage across the city and extortion letters begin to arrive, a team of CSIs battles against the clock, trying to catch the killer with a minimum of evidence. Or are there more killers?
