    Chad Allen brings a little charm to this, certainly the best of the pretty mediocre four film adaptations of the "Donald Strachey" PI investigations. This one sees him investigate when boyfriend "Tim" (Sebastian Spence) finds himself embroiled in a mystery surrounding a large bequest for his "safe zone" which all goes a bit south when a murder occurs. The original story covers a surprisingly varied series of topics - in a largely superficial fashion - including loyalty, obsession and child welfare issues which this effort makes a decent fist of as it rumbles along, but there is precisely zero chemistry between the two stars and the ending is a bit lacklustre. It's just about worth a watch, but only just....

Lincoln Rhyme was the department's top homicide detective and leading expert in criminal forensics until an injury left him paralyzed, depressed, and incapable of working. But when a gruesome murder in Manhattan leaves detectives baffled, they call on Rhyme to help solve the mystery. Amelia Donaghy, a rookie cop whose quick thinking preserved a gruesome murder scene, is enlisted by Rhyme to be his on-the-scene forensics expert. With Amelia reluctantly acting as Rhyme's able-bodied go-between, the pair piece together cryptic clues the killer leaves behind at the scene of the crime, hoping to catch the grisly serial killer.
