Book Description:
Henry Price has a whole new life-new apartment, new telephone, new telephone number. But the first time he checks his messages, he discovers that someone had the number before him. The messages on his line are for a woman named Lilly, and she is in some kind of serious trouble.
Price is inexorably drawn into Lilly's world, and it's unlike any world he's ever known. It is a nighttime world of escort services, websites, sex, and secret identities. Price tumbles through a hole, abandoning his orderly life in a frantic race to save the life of a woman he has never met. Price's skills as a computer entrepreneur allow him to trace Lilly's last days with some precision. But every step into Lilly's past takes Price deeper into a web of inescapable intricacy -- and a decision that could cost him everything he owns and holds dear.

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

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
Once I started reading I could not put this book down! Brilliant plot, plenty of plot twists and an excellent ending.
"Chasing the Dime" is not one of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch character novels. At first I was kind of dissapointed, but this book hooked me on the first page and I could not put it down! Very fast moving, twisted plot that will not leave Connelly's fans upset at all! I was sorry to see this one end. Give it a chance!
After being given a wrong number, Henry Pierce decides to investigate the whereabouts of its previous owner. This seemingly small decision leads him on a crazy adventure and into the depths of conspiracy. This book was suspenseful and hard to put down!
I liked the fact that this book moved fast...it's a light read if you're a regular mystery/thriller reader.
Good story from one of my favorite authors; different for him as there's no Harry Bosch or the usual characters and it's a really different story than usual. I enjoyed it very much.
Not the usual Connelly but very good book with all of the expected twist and thrills.
