Jack McEvoy is at the end of the line as a crime reporter. Forced to take a buy-out from the LA Times, he's got 30 days left on the job. His last assignment? Training his replacement, a low-cost reporter just out of J-school. But Jack has other plans for his exit. He is going to go out with a bang: a final story that will win the newspaper journalism's highest honour - a Pulitzer prize.
Jack focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer from the projects who has confessed to police that he brutally raped and strangled one of his crack clients. But as Jack delves into the story he soon realises that Alonzo's so-called confession is bogus. The investigation leads him to a killer known as The Scarecrow, who has worked completely below the police and FBI radar.
Jack is soon off and running on the biggest story he's had since The Poet crossed his path twelve years before - but The Scarecrow knows he's coming...

Recensione
Besides supplying impeccable police and FBI procedural detail, and a (literally) breathless finale, Connelly uses McEnvoy to voice his anxiety at the present decline in heavyweight newspaper content and our obsession with half-digested breaking news. Michael Brandon's voice as the narrator fits Connelly's stark, dramatic writing like a glove fits a hand. (THE TIMES)
