About the Book

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 paperto 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 Poet""made 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.

Review :
"A riveting thriller with a flawed, fully fleshed hero, a nasty serial killer and the expected page-turning tension."-- Miami Herald "Connie Ogle " "Connelly has the nerve and timing of a whole SWAT team."-- New York Times "Marilyn Stasio " "Connelly is one of the masters of contemporary crime fiction....Connelly's masterful narrative...proceeds in alternate chapters...which adds to this particularly chilling heavy's creepy aspect. It's a terrific device. Connelly always has been frank about his admiration for Raymond Chandler. It's a high bar to set for oneself, but he comes as close to clearing it as any mystery writer of his generation."-- Los Angeles Times "Tim Rutten " "Connelly masterfully whips the reader back and forth between McEvoy's point of view and the killer's, accelerating the pace as the full threat to McEvoy and Rachel Walling becomes clearer. The Scarecrow is Connelly in top form. And reading it will make it impossible for you to ever again think that when you do something online, no one's watching."-- St. Petersburg Times "Colette Bancroft " "Connelly nails the death-of-newspapers theme....Alternating point of view between villain and reporter, Connelly builds tension expertly, using dramatic irony to its fullest, screw-tightening potential. Even confirmed Harry Bosch fans will have to admit that this Harry-less novel is one of Connelly's very best."-- Booklist "Bill Ott " "Terrific....Connelly never stops doling out the suspense as action leads to counteraction....His thriller is an addictive read that, once it grabs you in those first few pages, won't let go of you....High-grade entertainment."-- Boston Globe "Chuck Leddy " "The Scarecrow is a dire warning about the dangers of electronic snooping. And it is a page-turning thriller--cleverly plotted, fast-paced and crisply written."-- San Francisco Chronicle "Bruce DeSilva " "There's something so comforting about knowing you're in the hands of a master when you pick up a new book....Connelly has produced one of the most impressive bodies of work in crime fiction, both an in-depth study of the darker side of human nature and an ongoing biography of the city of Los Angeles, told through the guise of sharply plotted, endlessly entertaining mystery novels."-- Chicago Sun-Times "David J. Montgomery " "What drives this story are not the vivid action scenes but the more internal clue-reading of his heroes as they piece together the ingenious mystery plots."-- Entertainment Weekly "Thom Geier " "With its ingenious story line and the twisted brilliance of the creeps involved, The Scarecrow holds its own with its predecessor [The Poet], which was a breakthrough novel for Connelly."-- Washington Post "Maureen Corrigan " "If Bosch is our detective, Connelly is our laureate, proving again that popular fiction at its best....is also literature." -- Los Angeles Times "Donna Rifkind" "Michael Connelly is a hard-boiled pro. His novels are remarkable for their authentic detailing of police procedures." -- USA Today "Carol Memmott" "This Bosch adventure is a great read that can't be put down. Harry's getting on in years but is still a great detective." -- San Jose Mercury News "John Orr" PRAISE FOR THE OVERLOOK: "Connelly succeeds, again, at creating a first-rate crime novel--fast-paced and dizzying....Connelly, once again, has hit a home run." -- Denver Post "Robin Vidimos"
