Our view
“The Vanished Man” is a forensic puzzle for readers who like detectives that work from the smallest scrap of evidence. The fifth Lincoln Rhyme novel pairs the quadriplegic criminalist with Amelia Sachs again and assumes some familiarity with them. Some readers find the deductions far-fetched and the villain implausibly always ahead. At nearly five hundred pages, it gives the investigation plenty of room.
