He is going to go out with a bang: a final story that will win the newspaper journalism’s highest honour – a Pulitzer Prize. A skilled and resourceful investigative reporter, Jack uncovers a series of puzzling contradictions. Jumping from Jack to Gladden was a lot to wade through (this book was 528 page) and I was glad to be done. En esta entrega (1995), vemos al personal ya con portátiles y móviles, tirando de internet vía módem y conexión telefónica.I don't know if there are multiple audio versions of The Poet out there, or if they just love to re-copyright things every few years, but the 1996 audible edition felt like it undermined the story's natural suspense. Oh, mid-‘90s, how quaint you seem in this book published in ‘96 with your dial-up internet connections, faxes, pagers, landline phones, and new-fangled digital cameras. At once perverted and vicious, the killer’s life is gradually revealed in bits and pieces that are meant to help us understand, if not necessarily sympathize, with why he does what he does.

Jack goes on the trail of a serial killer of police officers nicknamed "The Poet", and ends up hunting an Internet pedophile named William Gladden. I think I still like The Micky Haller character best of his creations but this is my favorite book "outside that series" so far. Before I wrote the first line — Death is my beat — I knew that the book would end with the killer slipping away into the darkness.Even his friends in the Denver PD thought Sean's shooting in the backseat of his car looked like a suicide, right clown to the motive: his despondency over his failure to clear a high-profile murder. Cómo sabía Connelly que una de las primeras cosas para las que se iban a usar internet sería para delinquir? That being said, the many twists and turns made it a worthwhile experience (and I definitely still trust Richard's recommendations *). Just out the window and across the balcony I no longer see the Marlboro Man’s steely eyes watching from the billboard.

Aquí no aparece Harry, pero el caso es espectacular, y creo que conecta con la saga en el siguiente: "Cauces de Maldad", porque si he de buscarle un pero al libro, es que la historia se queda inconclusa, quizá a la espera de la aparición de Bosch. I no longer care or believe that they can be rehabilitated, because I would never allow a known pedophile---rehabilitated or otherwise---anywhere near my child. And, despite my Judeo-Christian upbringing and belief in tolerance and nonviolence, I would have no hesitation or guilt in defending my daughter, even if it includes killing a pedophile. He says it's for his brother, but really it's for the story and glory of what he is getting involved with. The Poet is the fifth novel written by Michael Connelly, and the first to feature Rocky Mountain News reporter Jack McEvoy; it is Connelly's first novel not to feature LAPD detective Harry Bosch.The narrator was fine but I associate Buck Schirner with the Monkeewrench series so that was a distraction. But when he’s told his twin brother, a homicide cop, is dead, an apparent suicide, Jack isn’t ready to accept that and begins to look into other police officer deaths deemed to be suicides. Out of time" He begins to investigate the possible meaning in that message and in the process uncovers other deaths and other quotes, left by a suicidal hand. To explain: Connelly uses the subject matter of pedophilia to create a taut, edge-of-the-seat crime thriller, something which he succeeds in doing. Sean had been investigating the homicide of an attractive young woman and it was assumed by all the failure to track down the 'doer' had contributed to Sean taking his own life.

We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others.If not for that a higher rating would have been worthy, although the climax of The Poet is also a tad far-fetched. Most of The Poet is written in the first person from the point of view of the central character, a newspaper reporter whose brother is one of a number of murder victims.
