Michael Connelly

The hero of The Poet and The Scarecrow is back in this thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Michael Connelly. Jack McEvoy, the journalist who never backs down, tracks a serial killer who has been operating completely under the radar—until now. Veteran reporter Jack McEvoy has taken down killers before, but when a woman he had a one-night stand with is murdered in a particularly brutal way, McEvoy realizes he might be facing a criminal mind unlike any he's ever encountered.Jack investigates—against the warnings of the police and his own editor—and makes a shocking discovery that connects the crime to other mysterious deaths across the country. Undetected by law enforcement, a vicious killer has been hunting women, using genetic data to select and stalk his targets.Uncovering the murkiest corners of the dark web, Jack races to find and protect the last source who can lead him to his quarry. But the killer has already chosen his next target, and he's ready to strike.Terrifying and unputdownable, Fair Warning shows once again why "Michael Connelly has earned his place in the pantheon of great crime fiction writers" (Chicago Sun-Times).A Kirkus Best Book of 2020

"Intriguing story line about consumer-oriented genetic labs selling specific bits of DNA code to third parties, some of those parties highly suspect. The main character, Jack McEvoy, left me cold, a dogged but smarmy reporter. Rachel Walling, a former FBI expert now working data in the private sector, is a potentially interesting character turned into prop so the author can keep Jack McEvoy the lead. Rachel would be terrific tag-teamed with Renee Ballard or Harry Bosch. Bring those two story worlds together, please."

"Made me think about how those DNA tests can be more dangerous than just finding new relatives. Well written and kept me hooked till the end. "

"I love Jack. I’ve lived this character since I’ve read The Poet. I really hope we see another book with him and his fantastic idea at the end."

"Another great read from Michael Connelly. For Los Angelenos, his books are already great for seeing local sites and locales highlighted through the pages."
