The Bone Collector

A thriller from 1999 (and first book in the Lincoln Rhyme series), the main characters are forensics expert Lincoln Rhyme (Denzel Washington) and a patrol cop, Amelia Donaghy (Angelina Jolie), who team up to solve a string of murder cases in which the killer always removes a shard of bone from the victims.

The first victims are a couple named Alan and Lindsay Rubin who are kidnapped by the killer after taking a taxi hone. Alan's body is found in a civil-war era gravel bed. A few pieces of evidence are recovered at the scene by the resourceful Donaghy, despite not having the training or equipment for proper forensic work; when they are presented to Rhyme for analysis he's so impressed that he insists she work the case with him.
