Review

"THE SCARECROW is a dire warning about the dangers of electronic snooping and a reminder of what we will lose if newspapers continue to fail. And it is a page-turning thriller--cleverly plotted, fast-paced and crisply written."

"[A] riveting thriller with a flawed, fully fleshed hero, a nasty serial killer and the expected page-turning tension..."

"[A] headlong race to maintain narrative momentum. I mean that as high praise. Connelly is an excellent mystery writer...."

"THE SCARECROW, a return to form for Mr. Connelly and his sharpest book since THE LINCOLN LAWYER, pivots energetically among its subplots, often returning affectionately to the newspaper world."

"Connelly...has the nerve and timing of a whole SWAT team...."

"This magnificent effort is a reminder of why Connelly is one of today's top crime authors." (starred review)

Publisher's note

Pursuing a big story story in anticipation of his imminent layoff, Los Angeles reporter Jack McEvoy investigates the murder confession of a teen drug dealer and realizes that the youth may be innocent; a discovery that pits him against a killer operating below police radar with an uncanny knowledge of his enemies.

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.

Annotation

There is no way Jack McEvoy will quietly resign from the Los Angeles Times, where he has worked as a crime journalist years. No, he's going to show the higher-ups who've given him the pink slip what they will be missing by dishing up a ground-breaking story before he goes. That's where Alonzo Winslow comes in. This 16-year-old confessed to brutal rape and murder charges, but when Jack begins to investigate, Alonzo's story quickly falls to pieces. Following leads across state lines, Jack needs FBI agent Rachel Walling's help to crack a case that grows more and more dangerous with every step they take. Prolific author Michael Connelly offers another gripping thriller with THE SCARECROW.
