Synopsis

With his four Harry Bosch novels, Michael Connelly joined 'the top rank of a new generation of crime writers' (Los Angeles Times). Connelly returns with his most searing thriller yet - a major departure that recalls the best work of Thomas Harris ('Red Dragon,' 'Silence of the Lambs') and James Patterson ('Along Came a Spider'). Our hero is Jack McEvoy, a Rocky Mountain News crime-beat reporter. As the novel opens, Jack's twin brother, a Denver homicide detective, has just killed himself. Or so it seems. But when Jack begins to investigate the phenomenon of police suicides, a disturbing pattern emerges, and soon suspects that a serial murderer is at work - a devious cop killer who's left a coast-to-coast trail of 'suicide notes' drawn from the poems of Edgar Allan Poe. IIt's the story of a lifetime - except that 'the Poet' already seems to know that Jack is trailing him. . . Here is definitive proof that Michael Connelly is among the best suspense novelists working today.
