Rhyme's cousin has been arrested for murder. The evidence clearly shows he did it, but Rhyme agrees to check things…
out.

This allows him to get close to the victims under false pretenses, murder or rape, and escape safely. And then he sets up others to take the fall for his crimes, planting incontrovertible evidence. Rhyme, Sachs and the rest of the team have to find out who at the huge, ominous data mining company is getting access to this information. Meanwhile the villain - known only by a number to us - realizes he's being pursued and turns his knowledge of data and information into a weapon.
