About this ebook

FROM THE #1 BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE HARRY BOSCH AND LINCOLN LAWYER SERIES

An electrifying standalone thriller that breaks all the rules! With an introduction by Stephen King.

Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat: his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write--and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecedented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets: homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card: a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last...may be McEvoy himself.

Ratings and reviews

Yet again a page turner and proves that no matter what setting the 90's or current he can really write and keep the reader interested. Very good read. I would recommend.

A great story the book reads as if you were physically present. As a reader I did feel a part of the scene but as an observer (as reporter) of the scene, knowing all parties connected to the death, I felt I could figure out what really happened at the his murder today. It was ,after all my brother who was murdered.

Fast-paced and entertaining as heck! Once you read this novel, you are definitely hooked on Michael Connelly's novels. You will not be disappointed!
