Classic Connelly #2:The book that introduced the tenaciousJack McEvoy to the world.

Death is my beat . . .
Jack McEvoy specialises in death. As a crime reporter for the Rocky Mountain News, he has seen every kind of murder.
But his experience doesn't lessen the brutal shock of learning that his only brother is dead: a suicide.
Jack's brother was a homicide detective, and he had been depressed about a recent murder case - a hideously grisly one
- that he'd been unable to solve.
McEvoy decides that the best way to exorcise his grief is by writing a feature on police suicides. But when he begins his
research, he quickly arrives at a stunning revelation. Following his leads, protecting his sources, muscling his way inside
a federal investigation, Jack grabs hold of what is clearly the story of a lifetime. He also knows that in taking on the story,
he's making himself the most visible target for a murderer who has eluded the greatest investigators alive.
'The real thing, and the best of its kind since The Silence of the Lambs . . . An unputdownable masterclass in thriller
writing.' - TimeOut
