The Coffin Dancer (Lincoln Rhyme #2) by Jeffery Deaver

The most dangerous and elusive hitman in the world is visiting New York City - on business . . . 

Percey Clay, one of America's foremost pilots and the uncompromising owner of a struggling charter flight service, was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

NOW SHE'S THE TARGET OF THE COFFIN DANCER.

Brilliant quadriplegic criminalist Lincoln Rhyme knows the killer only too well. He's a man who's raised murder to a form of high art; whose deadliest weapons aren't guns or knives but his uncanny knowledge of human nature . . . 

And Rhyme must combat both the hitman's amoral genius and Percey's headstrong determination if he is to save her.
