What a great idea for a plot; a burned out business man, a wrong number and the underworld that surrounds a woman gone missing.

Only one or two of Connelly's continuing characters (attorney Langwiser, for example) show up in this departure novel. As in The Poet the protagonist here is not a cop of any kind, but the "scientific mind" of chemist Henry Pierce will take one on a typical convoluted-Connelly ride and provide enough thrills and chills to satisfy even the most jaded reader.

Once I got past the first CD the story was riviting. This was a thriller and a good mystery . Get it.

This book was riveting from the first paragraph. It kept me on the edge of my seat accompanying the man (Henry Price) through his desire to help "Lilly" and wondering how involved he would become in her life. The mystery of just how involved he would become and how dangerous his queries would be for either (or both) of them. A true page-turner.

Excellent mystery from beginning to end. The beginning was a little slow. After all the characters were in play, I caught Henry's curiosity and was intrigued by the whole story. The ending has a very nice twist that I didn't see coming and had to actually re-read some of the story to see how it fit in. Nice ending. A Good read over all.

A great thriller, one of the best I've read. Couldn't put it down, read in 2 days.

Only read one other book by this author so far (The Lincoln Lawyer) which was also good.

Would highly recommend this book!

Like Void Moon, this book is a departure from Connelly's Bosch / McCaleb detective series. It starts as a book about a citizen / scientist / entrepreneur engaging in some amateur detective work that explodes in seriousness and complexity. Plenty of twists (and a little nanotechnology) thrown in. Fun.

3.5 stars out of 5

Chasing the Dime is a stand alone novel by Michael Connelly, with all the excellent character development, suspenseful plotting, and surprise ending that his other novels contain. This is a page-turner. I had a very difficult time putting it down.

A good story with interesting info on the science and technology in his line of work. Holds your interest while it builds and the ending was nothing like I expected.
