Publisher Description

FBI agent Rachel Walling finally gets the call she's dreaded for years, the one that tells her the Poet has surfaced. She has never forgotten the serial killer who wove lines of poetry in his hideous crimes--and apparently he has not forgotten her.

Former LAPD detective Harry Bosch gets a call, too--from the widow of an old friend. Her husband's death seems natural, but his ties to the hunt for the Poet make Bosch dig deep. Arriving at a derelict spot in the California desert where the feds are unearthing bodies, Bosch joins forces with Rachel. Now the two are at odds with the FBI...and squarely in the path of the Poet, who will lead them on a wicked ride out of the heat, through the narrows of evil, and into a darkness all his own...

"I love Michael Connelly. We used to devour them (best in the order written) together and never tired of the detective Harry Bosch. This one is a follow-up of The Poet with all the usual twists and links to past characters and past Connelly novels. I really enjoyed it. "

— Jenny (4 out of 5 stars)

    " Listening to this on audio. The reader is Len Cariou. He takes a while to get used to as every sentence sounds like it is the end of a paragraph; but then we continue . . . The story is good and I like the Harry Bosch character. "

    " My first, true Bosch novel. I liked it. Liked him much better as a lead character than supporting in the Mickey Haller series. The book had a good pace, but never seemed to get as "scary" as the quotes on the jacket suggested. The end was also anti-climactic. But a good, hard boiled yarn. "

    " If I'm not reading a "coming of age" book, I am reading a "crime thriller". Really enjoy Harry Bosch and his adventures. Always a great ride. "

    " Predictably entertaining. Connelly continues to disappoint for his cliche Hollywood endings, but I'm willing to tolerate them because I enjoy Harry Bosch. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Not a bad story, but I sure think writers should maintain a consistent perspective, especially in mystery stories. It's the modern trend not to do so, but novels suffer for this. "

    " Very enjoyable, Connelly tells a good story with people/characters pretty well fleshed out. Always a lot of side story struggles surrounding each character. "

    " Another enjoyable read in the Harry Bosch series, although it was easy to see what was coming in more than one scenario. But who cares? If you're reading this its because you know what you're getting and you enjoy reading the continuing life of Harry. "

    " Rachel Walling and Harry Bosch intersect working two different cases that converge as the Poet returns. Good story, interesting plot. Surprisingly, a Bosch story with no police corruption. Some language. Probably 3 1/2 stars. "
