Thriller

Forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid the latest budget cuts, newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang, using his final days at the paperto write the definitive murder story of his career.

He focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow's so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent.

Jack is soon running with his biggest story since The Poetmade his career years ago. He is tracking a killer who operates completely below police radar--and with perfect knowledge of any move against him. Including Jack's.

Re: The Scarecrow

Michael Connelly simply can't write a bad story. I am reading one of his older books right now, City of Bones, and he just writes better with time. The scarecrow will be my next read.

Sounds like another great book from one of the best mystery writers of all time. My next read for sure!

I'd love to have a signed copy for my home library. Thanks.
