The Scarecrow (Jack McEvoy) | Chart listen

A chart copy of The Scarecrow (Jack McEvoy) by Michael Connelly is queued here, ready whenever you are.

Forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid the latest budget cuts, newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang, using his final days at the paper to write the definitive murder story of his career. He focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow’s so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent. Jack is soon running with his biggest story since The Poetmade his career years ago. He is tracking a killer who operates completely below police radar – and with perfect knowledge of any move against him. Including Jack’s.  ©2009 Michael Connelly (P)2009 Hachette
