The powder’s botulinum toxin, Mr. Rhyme. In sixty seconds, everyone in the room will be either dead or in a coma from which they won’t recover. Goodbye.

In his dive of a safe house, Valentin Renard broke in half the phone he’d used to send Lincoln Rhyme the text about the poison. The pieces went into a bag for later disposal.

He changed back into clothes he felt more comfortable wearing than the common garments he’d worn when carrying out his plan. The Ferragamo, the Chanel belt, the Kiton shoes. He made no apologies for liking the nicer things in life. He put one hundred percent of himself into everything he did and that had made him a great deal of money over his relatively few years. It was appropriate that he spend his resources in ways that maximized contentment.

This was his philosophy of life.

He left the house, heading west. He noted a funky vegetarian restaurant he would dine in tonight. A glance at the menu told him that he could eat in this restaurant every night for a week and the bill would still be less than that for a recent dinner at L’Etoile, on the Upper East Side. No judgment, just an observation.

He collected his Mercedes and pulled into the street.

A half hour later he found a parking place and climbed from the sleek vehicle. He walked a half block to the residence he sought and climbed the stairs, where he rang the bell, looking up at the security camera just above and to the right of the door. He made sure those inside got a good look at his face.

The door lock clicked.

He stepped into the front entryway. There he paused and offered a nod—and a smile—to Lincoln Rhyme, who wheeled forward and heartily shook his hand.
