Fair Warning, by Michael Connelly

. RSS

Michael Connelly was a former police reporter for the Los Angeles Times, and in Fair Warning, the main character is Jack McEvoy. The latter is part of a five-person team that investigates and writes stories posted on their website and sold to some major newspapers, one of them the Los Angeles Times.

McEvoy had gone after killers before and cracked the cases ahead of the police. Still, when a woman he had a one-night stand with is murdered brutally, he realizes he might face a criminal mind unlike any he's ever encountered.

First, he has to clear himself from being considered a suspect, but then Jack's findings point to a serial killer who uses personal DNA data shared by the victims to target the victims.

Connelly weaves a fascinating plot several steps ahead of the police and holds our attention to the end.

Michael Connelly is the executive producer of the successful TV series Bosch, which takes its inspiration from the Connelly novels and is almost if not equally as good as the books.
