A rare Connelly that took me awhile to get into - it starts out slow, and I put it down for months before picking it back up again. It still seemed slow, but as I had no other book to read at the moment, I persevered. Once the action started, wow! I was pulled along as I usually am into his books, and stayed up late finishing it. Jack McEvoy, reporter at the Los Angeles Times, is laid off. He is to train his replacement for two weeks, so he decides to go out with a big story that will make the establishment regret canning him, and starts investigating the murder of a white woman that the police have pinned on a 16-year-old juvenile delinquent whose grandmother insists is innocent. But his investigation quickly escalates out of control when he unwittingly connects this murder to another one in Las Vegas with the same MO. Suddenly, Jack himself is a target for a serial killer. Connelly hits another one out of the ballpark!
