THE BONE COLLECTOR Quadraplegic detective Lincoln Rhyme is planning his suicide when he gets a call he can't ignore from his old partner in the force. A single human hand has been found, buried on a deserted railway track. Only Rhyme can decipher the clues of the Bone Collector, a killer and kidnapper obsessed with old New York, but as he gets closer to catching the criminal, the hunted is turning into the hunter. PRAYING FOR SLEEP Michael Hrubek, a young schizophrenic, has escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane. And he's making his way towards Lis Atcheson, the teacher who testified at his murder trial. His psychiatrist, the hospital director, a professional tracker and Lis's husband race desperately to intercept him before he reaches her. But Michael knows Lis better than she knows herself. And he carries with him a monstrous secret that will tear apart many lives during the course of this single horrifying night.
