| Michael Connelly Unabridged CD on 10 Discs 11 Hours
Jack McEvoy is at the end of the line as a crime reporter. Once a hotshot in
the newsroom, Jack is now in the crosshairs of the latest set of layoffs at the
Los Angeles Times. He decides to go out with a bang, using his
final days in the paper to write the definitive murder story of his career.
Jack focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a sixteen-year-old drug dealer in jail after
confessing to the brutal murder of a young woman found strangled in the trunk of
her car. Jack plans to write about how societal dysfunction and neglect
created a teenage killer. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes
that Winslow's so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be
innocent.
When Jack connects the L.A. trunk murder to an earlier murder in Las Vegas he
is off and running on the biggest story he's had since the Poet crossed
his path years before. This time Jack is onto a killer who has worked
completely below the police and FBI radar -- and with perfect knowledge of any
move against him.
What Jack doesn't know is that his investigation had inadvertently set off a
digital trip wire. The killer knows Jack is coming -- and he's ready. |
