Former LAPD Detective Harry Bosch is a detective at loose
ends, in more ways than one. He has no connections with the
force, and his past haunts him at every turn and every time
he closes his eyes.
Garciela McCaleb calls Harry and tells him she can't put
her husband's death to rest until she truly knows what
caused him to die. Her husband told her if anything
happened to him that made her uneasy, she was to contact
Harry because Harry was the one man he trusted to find the
truth. So she hires Harry to investigate the death of Terry
McCaleb. Not only does Harry's search lead to a few
surprises, but he realizes that Terry was looking for The
Poet. Then Harry crosses paths with Rachel and matches wits
with the FBI.
Harry's travels lead him to Las Vegas and then to Cear,
Nevada. When he reaches the California desert, the FBI is
waiting for him, where they've begun unearthing more
bodies. As the body count rises, along with the heat, and
tempers flare, everyone becomes aware that The Poet has
planned every explosive step. He's watched, learned and
stalked. Now he's waiting for his riveting climax. The
question is, who will pay the ultimate price for his
revenge?
THE NARROWS is a masterfully written thriller. Connelly has
created a serial killer who brings mind games to an art
form.
