Perfect for you if...

  • You love crime thrillers where the protagonist is a determined outsider who won't listen to warnings from authorities.
  • You're fascinated by how modern technology like DNA databases and the dark web create new vulnerabilities for criminals.
  • You've read Connelly before and want another tight, propulsive Jack McEvoy case that actually lives up to the hype.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer mysteries where the detective works within the system rather than against it and their editor's objections.
  • You find graphic violence against women disturbing and want thrillers that don't dwell on the brutality of murders.
  • You're looking for a standalone thriller rather than the third book in a series, even though this one works as a jumping-on point.

About this book

Jack McEvoy, the journalist protagonist from The Poet and The Scarecrow, returns in this thriller by Michael Connelly. When a woman McEvoy had a one-night stand with is murdered brutally, he begins investigating despite warnings from police and his editor. McEvoy's investigation reveals a connection between this crime and other mysterious deaths across the country. He discovers that an undetected serial killer has been hunting women by using genetic data to identify and track his victims. As McEvoy explores the dark web to find leads, he learns the killer has already selected his next target and is prepared to strike. McEvoy races to locate and protect the final source who can help him identify the killer before another murder occurs.
