Death is my beat . . . Jack McEvoy specialises in death. As a crime reporter for the Rocky Mountain News, he has seen every kind of murder. But his experience doesn't lessen the brutal shock of learning that his only brother is dead: a suicide. Jack's brother was a homicide detective, and he had been depressed about a recent murder case-a hideously grisly one-that he'd been unable to solve. McEvoy decides that the best way to exorcise his grief is by writing a feature on police suicides. But when he begins his research, he quickly arrives at a stunning revelation. Following his leads, protecting his sources, muscling his way inside a federal investigation, Jack grabs hold of what is clearly the story of a lifetime. He also knows that in taking on the story, he's making himself the most visible target for a murderer who has eluded the greatest investigators alive. 'The real thing, and the best of its kind since The Silence of the Lambs . . . An unputdownable masterclass in thriller writing.' -TimeOut

Upgrade
When I read The Poet I was only buying used books and paperbacks. Since then I have become fortunate enough to be able to buy hardbacks. My entire library has grown to the point that I have limited myself to signed First editions, First printings, excepting a few authors who do not have signings. I do,now and then, replace a paperback with a signed HB when the title in question is exceptional.
I have read all of Connolly's work. I deem The Poet one of the best, perhaps the best, he has produced. The particular purchase here was a good value.

Pretty good
The Poet is not Michael Connelly's best work, and Jack McEvoy not his most compelling character. That said, the novel was truly suspenseful, though the "whodunnit" revelation somewhat forced.

not outstanding
"The Poet "was just O.K. I enjoyed it, but
the books he has written more recently
are much, much better. Maybe he just
needed to mature more when he wrote
this one.

Slow but sure
Being the first time i have ever read Michael Connelly (being a James Patterson fan) I found it to be a bit slow in the first chapter but once this guy gets it in 4th gear ...strap in and hold on....This books had me ziggin and zaggin all the way to the last page....Never think you know the ending because he will throw you a curve every time...Great Book...im going to buy all of his books
