About this ebook
Classic Connelly #2: The book that introduced the tenacious Jack McEvoy to the world.
Crime reporter Jack McEvoy thought he was familiar with death, but when he's notified of his brother's suicide he is blindsided.
Devastated, McEvoy decides to write a feature on police suicides, only to discover a sinister pattern of literary references across reports from various jurisdictions. Jack realises he may have unearthed a deviously hidden killer and made himself the next target. But determined to achieve justice, Jack commits himself to the pursuit.
Little does he know what twisted paths lie ahead.
'The real thing, and the best of its kind since The Silence of the Lambs... An unputdownable masterclass in thriller writing.' - TimeOut
