A quadriplegic ex-forensics expert, Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington) and a patrol cop, Amelia Donaghy (Angelina Jolie), team up to solve a string of murders all connected to a serial killer by his signature: a single shard of bone is removed from each of the victims. Rhyme is bed-ridden, but communicates with Amelia via phone as she examines the various crime scenes and collects evidence and reports back to him. Lincoln is completely oblivious to Amelia’s extradordinary good looks – they operate on a purely professional level, and Lincoln’s almost morbid fascination in her is based on her professionalism and ‘knack’ for crime solving.
