It's been over ten years since Jack McEvoy wrote his bestseller about "The Poet" before taking a job as a crime reporter at the Los Angeles Times. Newspapers are currently having a hard time, so Jack isn't surprised when he is told that he has two weeks to train someone else for his job before he is let go. Jack decides to find a story that will make them regret laying him off. When an angry reader calls him concerning a story he wrote about a murder confession made by her 16-year-old grandson, Jack decides to look into her accusations. He quickly finds that the police may have arrested the wrong person. He also finds himself on the trail of a killer who may be ready to take his next victim.

This book is an excellent follow-up to The Poet. Jack contacts FBI Agent Rachel Walling to help him find a killer who has been undetected so far. This story is vintage Michael Connelly. I wouldn't mind reading another book featuring Jack McEvoy in the future. My rating: 4.5 Stars.
