Fair Warning
Jack went on one date with Tina Portrero. The next thing he knows, the police are at his house telling Jack he's a suspect in her murder.
Maybe it's because he doesn't like being accused of a crime he didn't commit. Or maybe it's because the method of her murder is so chilling that he can't get it out of his head.
But as he uses his journalistic skills to open doors closed to the police, Jack walks a thin line between suspect and detective - between investigation and obsession - on the trail of a killer who knows his victims better than they know themselves.
This is the third of the Jack McEvoy series and although I have read a few of the Harry Bosch this is the first one this series I have read. Easily read as a standalone.
Jack is an investigative reporter for an online investigative news organisation, Fair Warning.
Jack becomes a person of interest when a woman he had a one night stand with is found murdered. The cause of death is an unusual one and he sets out to discover how many more people have also died with the same cause of death.
This all leads to a web of intrigue. DNA, once used as a positive ID of someone is now used by millions of people around the world to trace their ancestors. Scary to think that the security of this is not as we would be led to believe.
Michael Connelly keeps up the pace without too much gore, despite several murders and attempted murders.
I've not been disappointed by one of his books yet.
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for my ARC in return for an honest review.
