The Poet - Michael Connelly Reviews
Description:ISBN 0752863916 / Author: Michael Connelly / Genre: Crime / Thriller
Newest Review: ... Would the FBI really allow a reporter unfettered access to all the facts of a story, just because he threatened to release ... more
... details that could potentially tip off the killer? Surely they'd be more likely to threaten him with prison? The idea of a reporter tracking down a killer and starting a cat-and-mouse game with him is also rather far-fetched.

Moreover, he uncovers other, similar cases which suggest a serial killer is picking off homicide detectives ... Read the complete review
