The Broken Window by Jeffery Deaver

In ten words or less: Rhyme's cousin is arrested for murder--is he guilty?

Review: When Lincoln Rhyme's estranged cousin Arthur is arrested for murder, Arthur's wife Judy contacts the famous NYPD detective. The evidence seems air tight--shoe sprints, fibers--and rhyme doesn't see how he can help Arthur.
But is the evidence too perfect? Rhyme's team, including his partner/lover Amelia Sachs, finds other crimes in which the evidence is similar, and where the accused protested their innocence all the way to prison. Someone has access to confidential information, and is using it to commit rape and murder, and to set up fall guys to take the rap.

Why bother? In this Lincoln Rhyme mystery, author Deaver examines the world of data mining businesses. computers--and the people who have access to them--have far too much information on the average citizen. The glimpse into the Rhyme family history adds a bonus subplot to the usual fast paced thriller.
