"The Broken Window" is a fiction book written by Jeffery Deaver. It is the eighth book in the Lincoln Rhyme Novels series.

A killer has access to the world's greatest data miner called Strategic Systems Datacorp. He is using detailed information to commit crimes and blame them on innocents. Rhyme Lincoln, Amelia Sachs, and the characters from the previous books, team up to stop the criminal.

Reception

"Publishers Weekly" reviewed the book saying "The topical subject matter makes the story line particularly compelling, while longtime fans will relish Deaver's intimate exploration of a tragedy from Rhyme's adolescence."

"Entertainment Weekly" reviewed the book saying "Quadriplegic forensics whiz Lincoln Rhyme and his Glock-toting girlfriend, Amelia Sachs, track a serial killer who uses an all-knowing computer database to frame fall guys. Movie Pitch: Ironside meets CSI and Enemy of the State. Bottom Line: Rhyme still intrigues in his eighth outing, while Deaver's scarily believable depiction of identity theft in a total-surveillance society stokes our paranoia. A -."

On July 6, 2008 "The Broken Window" was on The New York Times hardcover fiction best seller list.
