"The Scarecrow" by Michael Connelly

The new book titles "The Scarecrow" by Michael Connelly will be released on May 26, 2009 in United States. He is an excellent story teller, and he knows the forensics science in criminal justice procedures. You simply cannot put his books down.

I want to thank our student, Edward Farah, for the great gesture, the gift of set of books written by Michael Connelly. In general, it is great that our students , faculty, and staff are in for the Michael Connelly's books for the LRC Summer Reading outreach program. It is a good start!

Editorial Reviews
"Connelly succeeds, again, at creating a first-rate crime novel--fast-paced and dizzying....Connelly, once again, has hit a home run." (Denver Post Robin Vidimos )
"This Bosch adventure is a great read that can't be put down. Harry's getting on in years but is still a great detective." (San Jose Mercury News John Orr )
"Michael Connelly is a hard-boiled pro. His novels are remarkable for their authentic detailing of police procedures." (USA Today Carol Memmott )
"If Bosch is our detective, Connelly is our laureate, proving again that popular fiction at its best....is also literature." (Los Angeles Times Donna Rifkind)

Product Description
Forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid the latest budget cuts, newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang, using his final days at the paper to write the definitive murder story of his career. He focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow's so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent. Jack is soon running with his biggest story since The Poet made his career years ago. He is tracking a killer who operates completely below police radar--and with perfect knowledge of any move against him. Including Jack's.
